- Very nice little hospital. Mr Senior was very friendly and knowledgeable and reassuring. From the point of view of hospital facilities, it was somewhat inconvenient that there was no phone signal and hence no internet. You can get free internet by providing your email address and email password but to me that seemed suspicious so I didn’t comply.
