About: Northern General Hospital Rotherham Hospital

(as a relative),

My 20 year old son spent 4 weeks in Rotherham District Hospital and Sheffield Northern General Intensive Care Unit during February 2018 after suffering from double pneumonia, sepsis and adult acute respiratory distress syndrome. He was critically ill and during that time as a family we were ripped apart and distraught at the uncertainty of his prognosis. I am happy to say with the outstanding brilliant empathetic care our son received he pulled through and is now recovering well.  

Our brilliant NHS. Functioning under ever increasing pressure and strain, overstretched and severely underfunded however it's always there when you really need it. Huge respect and gratitude to Rotherham Intensive Care Unit/HDU and Sheffield Northern General Intensive Care Unit. Simply outstanding. We will be forever indebted to you.
