I made a complaint in December about Colchester General Hospital’s A&E department.

Last week, I went into the hospital, and will probably remain for two weeks, after hurting my spine in a fall.

I have been in Fordham Ward for complete bed rest and everyone has been completely marvellous.

If I can’t sleep at night, the nurses will make time to come and sit with me and make me a cup of tea.

They go out of their way to help, despite being short staffed and run off their feet.

It is time someone stuck up for Colchester General, as it has got a bad name lately. Because of the fantastic care I’ve had, I decided it’s time someone spoke out.
