"With Dignity"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

Having experienced my mothers death recently, I needed to write about the impeccable care she received in her last 2 days. The staff especially one member on the night shift in the adult Resusitation A&E room was totally amazing-they were the epitome of care-such dedication and care given by one person was amazing-Thank you so much! My mum was moved then to the Acute Medical unit and again the staff treated all with utter respect & dignity absolutely nothing was too much trouble they cared for mum but left us alone to have our final moments with her. what more can we say to you all Drs,Staff and Ward Clerk thankyou for helping my mum die with dignity & the respect she so deserved.
