I HAVE just come home from a five-week stay in the Royal Victoria Hospital as an emergency surgical admission to the Intensive Care Wards One and Ward 17, and I am writing in praise of our excellent hospital.

It could not have been better! The surgeons, nurses and ancillary staff were all so wonderfully kind and helpful.

These nurses are not asking for more and more money, but to be allowed to do the job that they love doing, helping others with more staff. The nurses in the Intensive Care wards are like angels of mercy.

Thank you so much everyone!

We are so blessed in our Royal Victoria Hospital.
