THE bad press that several hospitals have had recently would put anyone off entering the front doors of these institutions. Not so with our the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

My mother of 95 was rushed in with so many things wrong that we expected the worst.

However, the doctors and nurses performed at the height of their knowledge and, quite frankly, performed a small miracle.

Think you all for your kindness and true professionalism towards my mother Minnie Cherlin.
