  Had my first experience of it this morning excluding the original consultation.
  
  St Saviours Hospital just outside Hythe is an attractive building set in pleasant grounds with ample free parking. All cataract surgery patients have to arrive by 7 am which is a problem if you haven't got a car as buses cannot get you there for then.
  
  I was seen almost immediately by a nurse that went through the usual heart rate, blood pressure, tests, temperature taking and questions on medical history before being administered various types of eye drops from different people.
  
  The surgeon then came into the waiting room, explained the procedure and got me to sign his get out clause. Not long after I was taken in to the operating theatre and 20 or so minutes later it was over. I was taken to a recovery room where I was served with a pot of coffee, complete with china cup and biscotti.z
  
  About 20 minutes later a nurse came in with all the paraphernalia needed to get shot of me, eye drops, information sheets and letters for my GP and optician. All done and dusted by 8. 30 am.
