Having just spent the last five days in Dorset County Hospital I had to write to say what a fabulous place it is.

I would like to thank Dr Witherow-Fraser and his team for the way they performed my operation.

I would also like to thank the staff at the EMU ward especially to all the staff at Maud Alexandra for their dedication and care.

We had people criticise the NHS but in my personal treatment and them around me were we were all treated to the highest standard of care.
