On April 13 I had to call an ambulance and was picked up at home by Mark and Mac. After a thorough examination, they took me to the General where I stayed for a month having all manner of tests and scans.

Three weeks later I was called back in for heart surgery carried out by Professor Nick Curzen and his wonderful team. I am now back home in the best of health. I would like to thank everyone at the General for special care and attention I received.

If anyone is at all apprehensive about going in for a heart op, I can assure them that they have nothing to worry about. You are sure to get the best treatment possible from brilliant people, who really care about their patients.
