SIR - Unfortunately on March 18 at 1.30am I was rushed into the BRI with severe chest pains. Within 30 seconds of going through the door I was attended to by a staff nurse who started to treat me. From that moment I could have had no better care in the world and all the A&E staff, doctors and nurses alike, were excellent.

At 5.30am I was moved up to Ward 4 and again the staff could not do enough for me, in particular the doctor and the staff nurse in charge that day.

In the eight hours trying to find out what the problem was I had numerous blood tests, four times on an ECG machine, X-rays, and a CT scan and had results back from them all in that time. I would like to give a big thank you to all who helped me that night.
