    Can't imagine what a horrendous day you must have endured, @3blokes .

    A nightmare indeed but perversely one to draw immense comfort from when the heroes of our NHS do what they do best.

    Best wishes to Dave for a speedy recovery and to you for taking time to share this with your fellow Lifers.

    Have to second this, they are just brilliant. Had a heart attack on Sunday and was in surgery within about 40 minutes. Everyone, the ambulance crew, surgeons, nurses and ward staff were just brilliant. Caring, reassuring, professional. Home already and well on the mend. Best wishes to @3blokes and @Dave2l. Thanks for the post.

    Get well soon mate

    Best wishes to @Dave2l and @SouthallAddick. Hope you both recover fully and soon.

    Echo all the good words about the NHS. Have been very fortunate not to need them too much in my life, but they are always amazing when I have had cause to use them. Don’t want this to get political, but I’d be more than happy to pay more tax, knowing it was being used directly for the service.

    However the NHS treatment of my pal dying from cancer at St Georges hospital has been shit the Oncology team brillaint but because he is going for a second stent operation and has had a tube inserted in his stomach he has been placed in a geriatric ward where i have witnessed a poor man with the shakes and dementia drop his medication on the floor that he was left with by a nurse (no chance of taking it due to how shaky his hands were) and then they go to give it him from the floor back into his hand until my mates sis in law stepped in and said dont you dare do that

    we are Ateam busting my pal out of there today his last days wont be spent rotting in that shit hole

    That's SO difficult to read, NLA.

    I know how distressed you were when you heard your mate's diagnosis & seeing him there must make it unbearable.

    Hope your break out is successful & your dear friend made more comfortable elsewhere.

    Thinking of you.

    Get well soon Dave and all the best to you and your family, 3blokes.
    Coupled with my wife’s speedy actions the NHS saved my life in September 2016, when I had brain surgery to deal with a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Everyone involved, from the paramedics to nurses, support staff and surgeons were magnificent.
    Looking forward to Dave making a full and speedy recovery,

    Went up to see Dave21 this afternoon, and whilst he is not out of the woods yet, and still requires further surgery, he has made a remarkable bounce back from where he was yesterday. So much so, that I was able to tell him about this thread, and it made him smile and he said “ that’s nice.”
    So thanks everyone for all the kind words and support. It is really appreciated. Got a long way to go yet, but we are staying positive.

    I hope it may make Dave smile if you tell him that I've always read his name as Dave 2l.
    In other words, in my mind he's Dave 2 litres, which I've always thought was weird :smile:
    Dave, I wish you a speedy recovery.

    Best wishes to Dave and Southall, hope you both make speedy recoveries. The NHS (particularly on the care side) is so understaffed & under pressure that bad experiences do occur, my sister (RIP...Little Sis) passed away at the end of 2016...just before Christmas, she suffered with MS and was in and out of Darenth for several years....we had mixed experiences of that time...with regards to her care.

    Thanks for all the messages of support and kind words. Dave was able to see this thread today and I read out all the messages on here to him and he gave a big smile so thanks everyone for helping to make that happen :+1: He needs further surgery probably early next week, so we are just taking one day at a time.
    But I really appreciate your comments which have had a positive effect.
