Judy Quinn, Sydney.
I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Nimbin Hospital for the excellent treatment I received there on the evening of New Years Day. I was suffering from a very painful bladder infection and was seen to immediately by a very capable nurse aided by two other equally helpful staff. After urine testing which confirmed my diagnosis, they also tested my blood pressure, heart rate and kidney function. After many years of reoccurring issues such as this, I have never been offered so many tests and reassurances as to my welfare.
I left within half an hour equipped with appropriate medication and an enquiry as to whether I was homeless or needed housing or counselling.
Many thanks to these wonderful folk. After 35 years of visiting Nimbin from Sydney you have restored my faith in what a wonderful place our Nimbin is!
