I was most impressed by Dr James Hickey who I visited at the Nuffield Hospital in Bournemouth on 4th June. The care he took, and the kindness with which he delivered it, were exemplary and reassuring. If anything could have made a visit like this enjoyable Dr Hickey did so. Thank you to him and to all concerned.
