I WAS extremely saddened by your story of Tuesday, October 4 where a woman accused the Worcestershire Royal Hospital staff of wanting to let her dad die because of his age.

As a recent patient of the hospital at the age of 85, I was treated with the utmost care and attention. I cannot speak too highly of everyone concerned, from my doctor's surgery staff, right through to the specialist who treated me at the hospital.
