    With all the bad stories about the health services I would like to give a big thank you to Saint James's Hospital ,
    I needed surgery fairly urgently and I would have had to wait 6 months in Cork to receive it, my GI got me transferred to Saint James and I had the surgery fairly quickly , had a few complications which were sorted quickly and I am now nearly ready to be discharged feeling better than I have in a long time ,

    The main reason for this post is that the staff in St James have been OUTSTANDING , from the ordinary staff to the nursing staff and the surgeons they are the best of people ,
    never a frown , always a smile no matter how busy they are ,
    and an especial thank you to the staff in Patrick Dunns ward day and night staff,

    Thanks

    Tony .

    I've found the same, the staff really are excellent in nearly all the hospitals.

    To be honest I find that nurses and doctors everywhere have that bit of extra care feel about them, I and my family have had numerous instances of it happening.

    Glad your surgery went well. I'm under the care of some of the cardiac team in SJH.Find them really good.

    Yup, giving out about hospitals is like giving out about taxi drivers. We hear about the bad ones but never seem to encounter them in the first person. I live the shadow of SJH and have been an inmate / A&E candidate over the years. They put up with a lot and fix you up with a cheery and well meant "hope I never see you again." All my best to A.N Curtain - she knows.:)

    Now you've opened a can of worms - but don't worry; it'll probably never be built (or today's children will be grey beards [or long dead] before the minister of the day cuts the ribbon)! The usual Irish solution to problem of locating modern infrastructure...
