Mr Zameer Shah 2016-09-20 Person 5 5 0

Dr Shah saw me in April 2016 and told me i needed a total right hip replacement , he was kind , understanding told me all simply what would happen and possible outcomes etc in terminology i understood im blonde and theatrical !! i felt safe and at ease and wanted my life back at 51 i was feeling 71 and in pain ...my surgery date came through for july 13th so my wait wasnt too long ..I saw Dr Shah early in the morning of the surgery 7.30 am as i checked into pre surgical lounges all of that was great and i didnt feel anxious at all ..and aging just before i went under .. the surgery was fine easy back on the ward at 2 pm and standing up at 4 pm and a visit from Dr Shah after is long day of operations at 6 pm ish and he makes yoiu feel that you are his only patient , he is caring and v v kind ..i saw him again before i went home and on my post op appointment last week where he explained many things to me . The whole team at Guys were fantastic under Dr Shah ...not so good when i got home chasing up district nurses to attend my wound and then after i was discharged by phone by them ... Also i was sent home with no anti emb stockings as in the whole of Guys Hosp they couldnt find any to fit me which i found to be unbelievable ... I think follow up and communication betweens dept s on after care would be a good suggestion and more stockings !! There a re a few dark days on the recovery path which i would have liked to have known about ,, bruising and swelling on day 12 which is normal apparently .but i wasnt prepared at all for that swelling BUT BUT BUT ...all worth it as I am better pain free and all thanks to wonderful Dr Shah and the orths team cant thank him and them enough ...my life is worth living again and I feel great
