My daughter recently went to A and E with a crush injury to her toe. I have often waited there for hours and hours but this time was seen fairly quickly. Phew!!

The nurse - whose name is Jenny - was the most amazing person. She was everything you would hope for when your child is injured and not feeling their best. Her skills regarding entertainment/distraction were second to none. My daughter hardly felt a thing and the bandaging of her toe was transformed into something fun, interesting and exciting. My 4 yr old son was with us and also had a great time. This nurse transformed what could have been unpleasant into a good experience and now a few weeks later, even as her toenail is falling off, my daughter is still talking about Nurse Jenny.

The reason I write this is to say thank you. I know she reads this forum. Nurse Jenny - childcare is all I have ever done. I rarely come across people such as you who have this very special quality. You are truly gifted - you are a wonderful example of the NHS at it's absolute best.

I don't know who we had during our first a&e visit on Monday night but she was fantastic! It was 3am so I was extremely tired, I don't remember catching her name. My daughter even slipped in a very genuine 'thank you see you tomorrow' on our way out. To which I replied 'I hope not babe' she has since been talking about dreaming about the hospital. Hmmm..

Wow.... Thank you all for the lovely comments about me and the rest of the Paeds ED Team.


I'll try and work out how to let those mentioned know without sounding boastful about my thread :)


Visiting ED is such a stressful time for families that we don't expect lots of praise (to use a cliche we're just doing our jobs) but when we do it makes us feel several inches taller.


Thanks again xx


PS Goodliz - I'm very proud to have you as a good friend too!

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
