"Looked after by the most incredibly kind hearted and caring team"

I suffer from severe claustrophobia and was utterly distraught upon being advised that I would need an MRI brain and spine to investigate an ongoing issue. I attended the Programmed Investigated Unit at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the RIE, where I was looked after by the most incredibly kind hearted and caring team. From the nurses on the unit, to the theatre and recovery nurses, radiographer, Shirley and her student, Emma, and anaesthetist Dr Ballantyne, I was treated with the utmost care and kindness. I am very grateful for their support, at a very stressful time, which enabled me to have the MRI with sedation.
