I received excellent treatment in hospital
TOO often we complain but forget to praise when we should.
Because your paper is so widely read locally, I am writing to you to register my appreciation of the excellent treatment and care I have received in North Tyneside General Hospital.
I actually live in Brampton, well outside the North Tyneside area. But, because of various circumstances, I recently underwent a knee replacement operation at your local hospital.
As a long-retired nurse – I qualified more than 50 years ago – I have nothing but praise for the professionalism, efficiency, and caring attitude of everyone I came into contact with.
The whole team, from consultant to ward cleaner, were absolutely first-class. It would be unfair to single out individuals, though I confess to fondly remembering "the two Emmas", both staff nurses.
Some say standards have fallen in the medical services over the years. From my experience, this is certainly not true of this hospital. You can be proud of it in North Tyneside.
