"Patient with severe M.E."

My son Tom was recently discharged after 13 months in Eastbourne Hospital. He has a very complex condition, which unfortunately has very little understanding or research.

The two consultants were outstanding in their care & compassion towards Tom and did their utmost to help as much as they could. They listened to the patient, which many other medical staff need to learn.

I understand how much pressure all staff are under, but a few minutes to listen makes so much difference.

Not all staff were caring or kind,but they were in the minority.

All the housekeeping staff were lovely, kind & considerate.

Overall the DGH came up trumps!
