Birmingham Heartlands and Solihull NHS Trust


Department of Respiratory Medicine, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital

Respiratory/Thoracic Medicine
a really lousy web site - I only wanted to check I spelled the names correctly.
no email for patients, and no list of staff with locations and telephone numbers and email addresses

Hospital Site Maps are too small for old eyes to read the lettering

Our website address is www.heartofengland.nhs.uk.
Please update any bookmarks or links that use the old address. and you guys should ewrite a redirect on the old urls
compare with http://www.rh.dk/ Forside > Om Hospitalet > In English

and Respirationscenter Øst
east Denmark's Respiration Centre
http://www.rh.dk/rh.nsf/Content/respirationscenterst~omrespirationscenterst
which also list the research being done at the moment

then Mandy checked my journal

but our seance was interupted by a genuine fire alarm - not a drill

back in her office Mandy looked at the blog pictures of my 10 year old cpap machine

ON THE WAY OUT

seventies chipped concrete

twenty first century style hospital architecture

if I get an acute stroke look for me here (I think my mother aged 91 died on that ward 2)

camera shake

children's department garden

this polar bear needed sun glasses too

seen in the children's department at Heartlands Hospital

classic english outside plumbing is very susceptable to frost damage
