Having just spent nearly a fortnight in the Cardiac ward
of the Royal Sussex County Hospital followed by a further two weeks
in the Furzefield Manor care home at Sayers Common I have
to comment on the quite extraordinary level of kindness given
by the nursing staff at both NHS and private establishments.
At both of these I received a level of care I did not expect and
find it making me very proud of the wonderful way patients such
as myself are treated in Britain.
