Ian Hook

My name is Ian Hook & I consider myself very fortunate to still be alive. To try to fix an
ongoing problem with my right leg, I decided to go private & self-pay for a further
consultation, involving an MRI scan which I felt was necessay. I got a next day appointment
on Thursday, March 7, with Professor Ali Ghoz &, while in his office, I was violently sick
which led to Professor Ghoz admitting me to Intensive Care where it was discovered that my
kidneys & diabetes were out of control & I nearly died. If I had been anywhere else, it’s scary
to think what might have happened!
I spent a bit over a week in your hospital & the care & help I received was something to
savour. EVERYBODY I came into contact with, from senior doctors to nursing staff to
catering & pharmacy staff to the maintenance guys & my dietary & diabetes advisors, were
fabulous & I shall forever be in their debt. I could name people here but prefer to lump
everyone in together as they all played their parts in getting me back from a very dire
situation.
I would very much appreciate it if you can please pass on my eternal thanks to every
department in your wonderful hospital.
