My stay in the hospital

"My stay in the hospital"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital / Respiratory medicine

(as the patient),

I have just spent six days on ward C6 with pneumonia, when I was admitted I was so ill I nearly died. It was only the care of the doctors and nurses that I am alive today. I would say this ward and the care I received from the nurses was the best you could get any were in the world.

every nurse on ward C6 would go out of there way to make sure you were getting the right care and attention. from getting you a jug of fresh water to helping you to the toilet. all the nurses always had a smile on there face. the food I received was always hot and was 4star food.

I was discharged after six days, but 2 days later I was re admitted with the same illness. I asked to be put on ward C6 if there was any beds empty and I am glad to say there was one bed empty so here I was once more being very well looked after by the best nurses you could be looked after and all the nurses still with there big smiles on there faces. the doctors, nurses, cleaning staff.
