The care and attention I received could not have been better anywhere. <br />Needless to say my insurance cover was promptly rescinded, not that I would have used it.<br />Subsequently I have had the misfortune to require extensive <br />surgical intervention and ongoing medical care and the doctors at La Línea hospital have saved my life on two occaisions so far.<br />The important lesson I have learnt is that private rooms and shorter waiting times for non-urgent procedures are no substitute for the care and dedication given by the doctors, nurses and supporting<br />saff of SAS. Long may they prosper.<br />Ex-Pat Alfie.Ex-Pat Alfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138590398502265538noreply@blogger.com
