Can only comment personally as my daughter was rushed in 2 weeks ago and had a 5 day stay with an emergency op during that, all i have is massive respect and admiration for the staff who work tirelessly round the clock on largely understaffed wards. One thing that really pi**ed me off was the parking, £1 an hour for the "unknowing" but as i found out if you pay £7.50 you get a weeks parking , There is no where that informs you of this anywhere on the hospital grounds,was purely by chance i overheard a converstaion. so as far as i'm concerned, nurses, consultants and surgeons (in my experience) are exceptional people who are totally let down by the cocks who run these health authorities.
