The Royal Free Hospital

• I WAS a patient at the Royal Free Hospital recently on 8 East Ward. I would like to say that they were the nicest nurses, staff, doctors and physiotherapists you could ever wish to meet.

Nothing was too much trouble for them. I had to start using a cpap machine (for sleep apnoea) and had a bit of a panic attack.

But the nurses on duty that night talked to me about a way that I could get used to it and eventually I was able to use it for four-and-a-half hours that night.

I know sometimes the NHS gets stick these days but I would just like to give praise where it is due.
