The family express their heartfelt thanks to the Stroke care team and the neurology/ medicine multidisciplinary staff at the HSC. We are very thankful to all the nursing staff who provided exceptional nursing care to our father during our limited presence at his hospital bedside due to Covid 19 restrictions.
We will remember dad for his wit and many wise statements especially “ If you have nothing good to say about a person, then it is best to say nothing”.
