"We owe these people so much..."

Personally I don't care how long I have to wait for an appointment, the fact that I have access to the level of care provided by the department and consultants like mine makes me proud and eternally grateful of Leighton and the NHS. The staff have to fight a system that is underfunded and undervalued by the powers that be and yet always manage to remain professional and caring at all times- something I don't think I could do in that situation. Like many people I am very nervous about the prospect of anything to do with eye care but I needn't have been, my two appointments made me feel calm and reassured immediately. I cannot thank the staff enough.
