I HAVE just had 13 days in the heart wards at Southampton General Hospital (pictured) and the treatment I received was first class.

The nursing staff were so tolerant and patient, it had to be seen to be believed. New patients come in at all hours, patients are moved at short notice, all done with no fuss or bother.

I though the menu was very good, I enjoyed the food.

The doctors are excellent and I felt much better when I came out than when I was admitted.

Last but not least I would like to thank Lucy and Jackie from East Community Health Team, who have helped me at home in lots of ways.
