The treatment and after care was of the very best at both Hospitals.

  If any of the staff from both the Buckland and Ashford hospital are reading this post I would like to thank them very much for the treatment I had at both hospitals on Wednesday of this week.I was working inside the steam train when not knowing there was a wasp nest within secs// they were all over me ,some how I got out with them still on my head and arms I was found by some of lads of the E.K.R.T and rushed to buckland so I thank them too ,after treatment there which was first class I was taken to the A,&E at Ashford for more treatment and I could not have asked for better nurses and Drs I had over 20 stings on my head with more on my hands home now so a very big thanks to all and the boss of EKRT even went and picked up my wife and much later came back to take us both home.I am still under the weather this morning but feeling alot better. Again thank you all please pass this on .And not forgetting the Ambulance crew and the treatment they give to me on the way to Ashford took some time because of all the H.G.V.s

  Oh ouch Vic - that must have been so painful. Glad to hear you're on the mend now.
  I've been attending Ashford, Kent and Canterbury and Buckland recently as an out patient and I too have nothing but praise for all three.
  On Monday I had an appointment at K&C and whilst waiting, a chap came round asking all waiting if they would like a coffee, tea or squash, what a caring thing for the hospital to do. I actually left the hospital at the time my appointment was! Personally I have never had a bad experience at any of these three hospitals, never been to QEQM so can't comment on that one.
  Also a big thank you and praise for our first response and paramedics. I recently had to dial 999 following a scare at home and they were so kind. They arrived really quickly and treated me well - wonderful people.
  In this day and age isn't it nice to give praise rather than moaning. Long live our NHS!
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  I can only imagine how painful that must have been, I am glad you are recovering and hope you have no lasting problems as a result of all those awful stings.

  I think the N.H.S excels at the sharp end, in emergencies we can be sure of great treatment from paramedics and hospital staff. The private sector doesn't have its eyes on that part of the N.H.S. thank goodness.

  Hi Vic, I couldn't agree more concerning our hospitals, I currently have Karen's dad in Margate receiving palliative care and today Karen had to go to Ashford for pre op checks. The staff in both places are absolutely brillant as is the care provided by them..
  PS hope you recover quickly from your painful ordeal and are soon back on your feet.
