My aunt was admitted to Ninewells hospital with a suspected broken hip.
The care and compassion given to her by the truma consultant Dr Donald was fantastic, he made her feel as comfortable as possible she was then admitted to ward 17 where the care and compassion continued.
She was given a pin in her hip to help with the pain, but unfortunately she deteriorated and passed away yesterday.
Thank you all staff at Ninewells hospital.
