"Burstead Ward"

About: Basildon University Hospital

Hi

Just spent the last 8 day in the Burstead Ward with 6 broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Would love to personally thank all the staff, from the cleaners to the doctor's for making my stay as comfortable and stress free as it could of been. Was in a lot of pain with my injuries and occasionally would call the nurses for pain relief , etc, not once was there any delay in helping me. Doctor's would speak to me every day, telling me my progress and what was going to happen today, always polite and normally shaking hands, might not sound much but that little extra P's and Q's go a long way. Even on nights when I couldn't sleep there be a tea with a rich tea. I don't want to say names as everyone played their part but thank you again to the whole staff.

Also the above applies to the A & E department which normally gets forgotten about due to the short time we stay there.

Thanks Neville Rapley x
