It's good to hear your health service being acknowledged, John. All too often all we hear about hospitals, etc. is the negative stuff. My niece has recently literally had her live saved by the swift attention of staff in one of our public hospitals.

I could identify a tiny number of (non-nursing) staff who have been less than helpful but overall I have nothing but incredible praise for the care, competence and staff I have come into contact since I worked on a ward 55 years ago. We are such a negative nation in some ways.
