Following a recent stay in Dorset County Hospital, I wish to express my appreciation for the care I received.

I was a very poorly man on admission through the emergency department, though I don’t remember much of the first 24 hours.

I spent all my stay on the Coronary Care Unit and the care I received was exemplary. From the domestic staff through to the sisters nothing was too much trouble, and they always seemed to be able to spare time to reassure me.

Many times there have been complaints and even jokes about food that is served on hospital wards. I have to say the food served was always piping hot and well presented.

My grateful thanks to everyone who cared for me.
