Your article, Our excellent hospital staff (Oxford Mail, October 17), about the John Radcliffe, Churchill and Horton Hospitals all receiving an "excellent" rating from the Health Commission, endorses what I and a lot of people have known for a long time.
That is that we are blessed in Oxfordshire with some of the finest medical care known to mankind.
I have experienced treatment and care in both the John Radcliffe and Churchill Hospitals in recent years and I have no doubt the care, kindness and consideration I received from all members of staff, as an in- and outpatient, has led to my full recovery after surgery, on several occasions.
On three occasions, I have needed initial attention from ambulance crews before being transported to hospital by them.
Again, I have never had reason to complain about the treatment I have received at their hands.
In this day and age, criticism seems to come too easily, but praise seems to be very difficult to voice.
Well done to all concerned — you deserve it!
