"The experience was 100% positive"

About: Rotherham Hospital

What I liked

The care I received can only be described as excellent. I was transferred to another hospital for rehab and found the differences could not have been more stark.

At Rotherham I was made to feel that the staff cared that I achieved the best outcome possible. From domestics right up to my consultant, I was treated witrh respect, dignity and more importantly kindness, at a time when I was very frightened and confused. I would like to thank all the staff but would draw particular attention to my physios for showing me that there is life after amputation and set me on a path that has me back on my feet and walking 4 months after surgery.

What could be improved

The food

Anything else?

Just to say thank you for saving my life and then giving me a better one back.
