Having been rushed to hospital by ambulance recently with a life-threatening illness, I cannot praise too highly the treatment and care I received from the doctors and nurses of both the intensive care unit and the high dependency unit.
The arrangements made for the after care on my return home have been superb, as have the staff providing these services.
Having seen all the negative publicity in the press concerning the National Health Service I thought it only right that I should write and let everyone know how lucky locally we are to have such an excellent provision of services at the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester.
