I RECENTLY received treatment in Ward 16 at York District Hospital. I would like to express my appreciation to everyone concerned with my stay from the calm paramedics, cheerful porters (even at 2.00am in the morning), the efficient phlebotomists and especially the excellent Mr Miller and his dedicated team of doctors and nurses.

Thank you for saving my life, Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year.
