(as a service user),

I belong to a concert party and we were due to do our annual show, when I was rushed off to the Medway for an emergency operation.   Needless to say our  show had to be cancelled.    I cannot praise everyone involved enough, from  the ambulance girls, A and E, The Theatre staff, where I had a Laparoscopic appendicectomy and washout,   I was taken to Kingfisher Ward after my CT scan and spent my first two days there.    I was then transferred to Ocelot Ward.    All the staff on both these wards were fantastic.   I had the best treatment ever and have made a great recovery.   THANK YOU SO MUCH MEDWAY HOSPITAL
