HOSPITAL STAY
Thought i would comment on my hospital stay here in NZ.
After doctor finding a large lump(140cm) in my stomach that was attached to my right ovary i went on waiting list for a operation,as i didn't have medical insurance. As i was in so much pain i went through as an emergency.
Four weeks later i had my appointment.
Went in on the 18th August,and they removed the cysts and saved a part of the ovary and the best news was no cancer found, endrometreosis (spelt that wrong!) instead which was a huge relief.
The care i received for my week stay was OUTSTANDING i cannot fault the nurses,doctors,cleaners caterers and tea lady. CHC Womens Hospital is a lovely hospital,clean,bright.

I always think it's so important to heap praise on someone or a service when it has been good. We are all so quick to condemn and criticise and often forget to praise. So thank you for sharing your good experience. Have some healing karma.
