I LIVE in Australia where our health service is fantastic.
Last week I was admitted to A&E in Dorset County Hospital and wanted to express my appreciation for the excellent care I received.
I worked as a medical secretary in the old hospital just over 40 years ago and our younger daughter was born in Somerleigh Court.
In those days we had to go to Yeovil or Weymouth hospitals for emergencies.
The staff were very kind and efficient and had a caring attitude to the elderly and confused.
They are to be commended.
