RE the letter from the person who wrote to the Echo (Fri November 28) accusing the staff of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital of bullying, making flippant remarks and worst of all, of having no empathy, compassion or support for you.

These people were trying to help you to make choices, that is their job and a pretty thankless task it is when relatives choose to write to newspapers criticising them.

Thank goodness people like you are in the minority, after all your parents are your responsibility not theirs and bullying is a very serious allegation, the medical staff also have parents and have to make decisions about them.

Do you think they get special treatment?

You need to have a look at your own behaviour instead of blaming everybody else.
