Aiden Devitt, orthopaedic surgeon. Operated on my back. He explained things in lay man's terms, so it was easy to understand what was happening at each stage. Freed me from pretty much constant pain. Thank you so much! To all the staff and nurses in Potel Ward. Superb! So professional, caring, considerate, helpful, kind.. I could go on and on... Wonderful people.
