HAVING had day surgery yesterday at Royal Bournemouth Hospital I counted up how many people I had seen leading up to the operation.

There were at least six in Poole hospital and at least 10 in Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

How can we ever thank the NHS for all they do for us?

I was a very anxious patient having never had an operation before, but I found I was getting less anxious as the time approached.

Particular thanks to Miss Laban and her team and everyone else whose names I cannot remember.
