Thank goodness time moves on. Four years ago, I had just been admitted to hospital for major surgery. I had a whole night to wait, and I was terrified. I'd never been in hospital and had heard terrible things about the National Health Service (and experienced some of those first hand with members of my own family). It must be said that the surroundings were unpleasant, the hygiene was less than perfect and the food was so disgusting I couldn't eat it, but the treatment was fantastic. I was so lucky that my surgeon was incredibly skilled, compassionate and thoughtful. She came to visit me the day after the operation, even though she was on holiday. I can't praise her more highly. If only the rest of the experience had been so good.
