Gosh!

How lovely, I expect you feel better already!
I know it is easy sometimes to complain about the NHS but since DH's diagnosis our doctor at the very busy local surgery has been nothing less than fantastic. Whenever he contacts the surgery she is there, sometimes pinching a request call back from the duty doctor, sometimes fitting him in during the ante natal clinic. She has definitely 'got his back' and for that we are profoundly grateful.

Thank you for reminding us what a brilliant NHS we actually have. I am so tired of reading countless stories of dreadful experiences. Of course, these do happen and will always happen in such a large organisation (and each one is not acceptable at all), but for the most part the staff try to do their very best with resources that are being continually stretched.

Yes, its always worth remembering the good. When my mum was in hospital, on one particular ward, she was given wonderful care by the health care assistants. One of them told me "I shall look after your mammy as if she were my own" in her lovely Irish accent. And she did!
