I WAS recently rushed into the surgical wards at Blackburn Royal Infirmary.

Thanks to the care received, I have made a good recovery.

My grateful thanks to all concerned -- the ambulance team, Surgical Assessment, Surgical Intensive Care and Ward 5.

A special mention also to those anonymous, unsung folk who regularly give blood to the National Blood Transfusion. In emergency, the NHS is still generally excellent.
