Dear Colcar,

That sounds a terrible time for you and must have been frightening.

I am so pleased you received prompt attention as an emergency and that you are happy with the standard of care throughout your patient journey.

I will ensure all the departments are sighted of your post.

I hope you continue to make a good recovery.

Regards Arlene
