AFTER seeing lots of negative comments about the NHS, including York hospital, I would like to put my viewpoint.

Having contracted a serious blood infection, I attended the A&E at York. From the moment I arrived and was diagnosed and treatment commenced, I was looked after so well.

At the A&E unit and then onto ward 22, the care and attention was first class.

The consultant, R Al-Shakerchi, the other doctors, charge nurse Peter, nurse Emilia and all the others were professional, kind and so hardworking and all with a fantastic attitude. You know they wanted you to get better.

I also found the food good and very well presented. What could have been a really bad experience was not, thanks to them all.
