Prescott ward

In the battle to find out just what caused the blood clots last year a few thing are in the pipeline, one of which has come round this being the removal of a benign tumour in my stomach area.
I arrived on the ward for 11am on the 11 March and waited in the day [...]

I have been prescribed diclofenac for my pain as this is better than [...]
