"Brilliant a&e dept who saved my life 3 times"

About: Royal Sussex County Hospital / Accident and emergency

Since being diagnosed type 1 diabetic in February and also being very needle phobic this hospital literally saved my life 3 times when I was admitted with DKA. Not once did anyone not show compassion or care. The staff are literally run off their feet. I witnessed them barely having a break because they actually care. The nursing staff especially who work tirelessly. And one itu registrar who was just brilliant when I was in resus who needed to do arterial blood gas after I had it before was so kind and patient (with me being a wimp). They explained it all after previous bad experiences and numbed my arm before doing it I didn't feel it. Im so grateful we have this. Don't knock this place.

Thank you very much for your kind comments regarding your attendances to our hospital, I have passed on your message to the relevant teams.

It really is encouraging for our staff when they receive thanks from patients and relatives for the care they have provided, and it is always very much appreciated.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Best wishes
