My GP sent me to the surgical assessment unit in a hurry with a suspected inflamed appendix. The two nursing sisters and the consultant who initially dealt with me were brilliant. My appendix had burst and was contained by an abscess. I was admitted and spent five days in the hospital while they worked to reduce the infection and inflamation. I was fitted with a drain and eventually discharged. It was my first time in hospital for decades and I was so very impressed with everyone I encountered, from the surgeon Mr Wright, to the friendly cleaners and catering staff. The nurses were fantastic. Very careful and considerate. I spend time on Chalkwell ward and Stambridge ward. I think also Hockley ward, it is a bit of a blur. The staff at Southend Hospital were brilliant. Thank you.
