So, long story short, have just come home after a short stay in Gloucester Royal Hospital... Had a blockage in my small intestine (which i don't recommend anyone tries!!!)

So, i wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to both the paramedics and the staff in the hospital! They were all so so brilliant and caring and made me feel less stressed about the whole "covid" thing and being in hospital etc etc etc...

I was covid swab tested before they allow you to move to a ward from A&E and the results come back very quickly! This allows you to then be moved to a covid free ward to be cared for...

I now have a few days of "sofa rest" to rest my poor old tummy muscles!

All the best for a speedy recovery & a

Staff were brilliant and diagnosed a slight arm fracture really quickly. My eldest daughter works in the Covid/Trauma ward at Brighton hospital, 13 hour shifts in full PPE with three 20 minute breaks....heroes the lot of them  SDV8 AB MY 2019

Tummy pain is much worse than man flu glad it all worked out well for you, wearing that PPE that the COVID carers wear is just nuts there must be something better for them? there is in the far east? still, they need something??? They are so selfless and caring.

All the best Craig. Glad to hear your on the mend

Good to hear you are on the mend Craig.

We in this country sometimes forget how lucky we are with our medical teams, saving lives everyday.

Great news that they looked after you and got you up and running again.

Hopefully when this Covid thing is put to bed the Government may look a bit more kindly on the worth of our Nurses in their pay packets.

Take it easy Craig and good to hear you’re on the mend.

As the son of a nurse, with other medics in the extended family, I’ve always really valued the front line NHS teams. They deserve all the praise they are getting. Don’t get me started on NHS management though- all the issues with PPE are down to incompetent procurement and nobody is going to get the blame for it. My fervent hope is that once all this is over, there will be a review of NHS management processes and a greater emphasis will be with clinicians rather than bean counters.

They are amazing people i have to say... I love the paramedics sense of humour for all situations! Takes a certain breed that's for sure...

Good to hear
They’ve been there for me too when I really needed it. So glad

Ive said to my wife for years, if the NHS is lacking (for example) 100 million a year and that cost me £5 a week then i would happily pay it!

Boris has missed a trick thus far i think!
