SIR: Recently I spent some time in the Royal Bolton hospital to have an operation on my knee.

May I thank all the staff in the operating theatre, and a special thank you to Mr Asfahani, the surgeon and Mr Kosai the registrar.

Also a very big thank you to all the staff, day and night duty on F4 ward. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and attention I received from everybody.

I would also like to say thank you to the staff in the Physiotherapy Department, and all friends and neighbours for the cards and get well wishes.

Mrs Maria Kolesaw

Crescent Road, Bolton
