I was at a local shopping centre when I slipped and fell, fracturing my femur. The two paramedics from Butterbiggings Road station were fantastic - so professional, reassuring and kind.
This set the tone for the rest of the week.
From the ambulance, to A&E at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, to Orthopaedic Wards 10D and 10B, I was treated with respect and utter professionalism; doctors, auxiliaries, nurses, student nurses, surgeon, anaesthetist, occupational therapist, physiotherapists, young men and women who brought food and drinks - I was overwhelmed with the care I received. I know our glorious NHS is under financial strain, and many of the people who helped me will work so hard for less money than they deserve.
But every one of them - except one auxiliary! Sorry! - was a credit to the NHS. I am so grateful and full of admiration for all the work these people do every day. Thank you.
