Amazing STAFF Martlesham ward

I came to the Hospital via Ambulance due to potential spinal cord compression. I was quickly admitted and left to rest, then seen by a Dr. Everyone iv seen has been so caring and considerate. Having been an ED nurse for 21 years myself I could see they were short staffed. My personal care has been great so far, but the only thing I can say is I need help getting my belongs out of my bag due too my spinal surgery so this could be addressed. The meals are lovely, I am gluten free due too allergies and even though choice is limited the staff are amazingly kind, considerate and sociable. Would I reccomend this ward "YES I WOULD" You have nothing to worry about, everyone in my 3 days here have been so caring.
