Excellent staff at emergency the night I was brought in. Sunday 14th July 2024. I was in so much pain and every single person I came across was just amazing. From the initial assessing nurse to the two doctors who saw me moments later in ED worked so promptly after tests and bloods taken. I was sent to surgical assessment where I was so well taken care of, the nurses were kind and compassionate. They offered me pain relief to help me get some rest whilst awaiting for surgical doctors to come check on me.

Surgical doctors were thorough with explaining procedures. Down to earth incredibly considerate of how I was feeling. When I was later wheeled to a ward, an awesome orderly worker eased my mind off the fear of what is before me. I felt so comfortable in the Gynaecare Unit.. I am well looked after here. The nurses are second to none. They are generous with time and have built rapport easily with them.
My surgery team were fantastic. I had a Fijian brother as a nurse who was able to help me stop the water works as he explained what was to occur. He let in a few funny jokes which helped me push those fears further away. Something about anesthetic that really gets the nerves twisted. Lol. The team were awesome. I was wheeled in 8.30am and woke up 10.30am. Drugged and unable to speak but felt no pain. I am so grateful for everyone in that surgery room. Thank you so much. This trip to the hospital has indeed opened my eyes to what is important. Thank you heroes!

Back now in my awesome ward. The nurses continue to check up regularly. So kind they even allowed me to wait for my daughter who delivered a charger for me. Of all hospitals I've ever been in... Middlemore Hospital staff are the best. They do their jobs well, they are proud of their professions & I believe their actions speak volumes for the city they serve! Proud to be a South Aucklander today. 😊😊
