I WAS recently discharged from the Kingswood wing of Basildon Hospital and immediately spotted a letter in the Gazette extolling the virtues of the NHS. How refreshing, I thought. I wish to endorse those views.
Had I been David Attenborough or Michael Palin I could not possibly have received better care.
As well as the doctors, nurses and specialists.
I would like to extend praise to the orderlies, caterers and porters. Even the guy in the basement in charge of the dumpsters proved to be a model of polite bonhomie - don't ask!
What a brilliant, brilliant group of people working together to achieve the desired results.
However much these people are paid - it's not enough!
Anyone who is awaiting admission with any trepidation - dispel such reservations at once.
You will be treated within an inch of pamperdom if there is such a word. Well done and thank you all.
Bill Hughes.
