I recently attended a&e and was subsequently admitted to Mersea Ward and discharged yesterday.The care I received was outstanding from everyone.There was a very confused patient in the bed next to me and the nurses demonstrated a huge amount of dignity and respect which I was very impressed by.The staff working at the hospital often get poor feedback regarding their lack of care and compassion.I saw no such thing and am very appreciative of the hard work they put in under challenging circumstances.Perhaps the media especially the gazette should look at the bigger picture and start reporting some positive feedback from patients which I am sure there is plenty of.Although things do go wrong at the hospital (such is life) I believe that this is generally due to the huge amount of pressure the service is under in relation to government cuts.
