PARAMEDICS were called to my home after I collapsed. I was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital and had to have an emergency life saving operation. I was transferred to the Intensive Therapy Unit for five days and was then transferred to Ward 16.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care and treatment I received - from consultants to porters. I could not have been treated better had I been royalty. God bless you all.

Arrowe Park Hospital has had its critics in the past - let's give it credit, too, for all the good service and care it provides.
