AFTER reading Rosemary Stowell’s letter (Oxford Mail, June 14, Viewpoints), I would also like to say many thanks to the surgeons, doctors, nurses, physios and everybody else involved in my welfare.
In fact, I can’t thank them enough for the way they looked after me when I was in the John Radcliffe Hospital recently for nearly 10 weeks.
Unless you have been in the JR yourself as a patient, please don’t criticise our NHS.
I was suddenly admitted and had to have five hours of surgery on my spine to remove a large abscess.
My kidneys also failed and I was on dialysis, and then my whole body was paralysed from neck to toes.
I was in the ICU for two weeks. Their care was superb and they are all so dedicated.
I am home now but am having to learn to walk again.
My thanks to all the staff in the intensive care unit, level 2, level 7 and level 6. I can’t praise them enough.
