"My ongoing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis."

I've been regularly attending the infusion unit in Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry/Londonderry every eight weeks for some years now as I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. I'm always struck by how kind and pleasant the staff there are, and how efficiently - and patiently they deal with everyone, even when they are clearly very busy.

A regular hospital appointment can be something of a chore, but not here; there is always a pleasant atmosphere and some chat or a joke to be had. It makes such a difference to me and obviously other patients, and it is all on a first name basis. I thought it only fair to register my comments, as a way of saying Thank you for all your thoughtfulness and attentiveness over the years. It has not gone unnoticed and is very much appreciated. You are angels.
