How great that things are going well for you Lovebear. Brompton is a good hospital as are so many others. You are right we do need to remember to be polite and considerate. It means such a lot.

Take care xxxxxx

You are so right. Hospital can only do so much and the rest is down to 'self-help'. If more people were like you there wouldn't be a bed shortage.

You have hit it right on the nail poor wages for what staff at the hospitals put up with

That's a good post, Lovebear, and good advice on how to behave when we're in hospital. It's teamwork, isn't it? We need to do our best to help ourselves, and a smile and a thank you helps those caring for us. I do hope your last week benefits you and that you go home feeling better! Sue xxx

Morning Lovebear, I think that is great advice, they all work so hard and long hours. The least we can do is treat them with respect.xxx😊

Good to know on Brompton I am going up there for a week in Spring, Summer 2018..thanks for the positive input . Much appreciated ..and i agree we have brilliant staff working in the NHS..they are most likely up there with the best of them globally. We loose sight of this fact to much, I am grateful for the service we receive here, listening to others I run a support group for AATD sufferers in UK but I have a lot of USA patients on there and Europeans ..the story's are outrageous , it is not what its cracked to be ..its all money, money and if they don't have enough they re literally left to die! We should all be bloody grateful here.
