"Excellent care and treatment"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I am a serving soldier who got injured on a physical training session. Within an hour of getting to the A&E department I had received triage, had X-rays, had a plaster cast fitted, given crutches and discharged until the next day. The following day I was given an osteopath appointment where the doctor gave treatment advice, re-plaster casted my leg, x-rayed again and discharged for four weeks. All within an hour. Two hours of compassionate and effective treatment that will undoubtedly aid in my speedy recovery. The fact I am a soldier meant in no way I was given preferential treatment, but should provide an accurate testimony that this hospital is first class in its treatment to patients. Thank you to everyone who helped me.
