(as the patient),

I came into hospital in February with pain in my joints in my arms and legs, Anemia, a horrible stomachache, diarrhoea and weightloss which had been going on for almost 7 weeks. After arriving at the hospital I was in A& E. I was taken care of and within 2 and a half hours, I had 8 tests done.   Afterwards I was put into Ward 6 and then later into Ward 4. I was given a diagnosis almost immediately. My stay in the Wards was great, the hospital staff was very helpful and understanding. They were there to answer any questions I had and were there to help whenever I needed it. I am very grateful to the staff, they were very friendly and professional. They made sure I didn't feel like I was a burden. Everyone is friendly and smiling, made being at hospital less frightening. Perfect people for the work they do.
