A love letter from the English patient to 'fantastic' staff at Cork University Hospital

When David Peschier was taken ill during his summer holiday in Kinsale, his next stop was the emergency department at Cork University Hospital, where he eventually found himself on a trolley. He asked the Irish Examiner to print his account of his stay.

My idyllic summer stay in our cottage near Kinsale was interrupted by severe stomach pains. Despite having felt a little unwell during the previous few weeks, I hoped they would soon pass.
