PATSY ANN E

Patsy-ann E    well Bello hospital has come in handy again after a work accident today my nephew has had to access the facilities to remove wood from his abdomen, had a doctor check him out within half an hour if we went to coffs we would probably still be waiting...at least we know he is comfortable tonight.....SAVE BELLO HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALLAN T

Allan T     Stupid socialist governments think they should social engineer the masses theyb get in to dedt then it is lets centralise things go hard to keep bellingen open Iwas a patient there in the late sixties lived at gleniffer +dorrigo you need a hospital keep up the good work

SHIRLEY C.

Shirley C My first position as a registered nurse was at this hospital way back in the early seventies, my mothers family were Bellingen/ Glenniffer locals and a lot of my family have been treated at this hospital. It would be such a shame to seee it close, I wish you all success in keeping it open for the people. I have such good memories of my brief time their.

TEXSY LEE R

Texsy Lee R last year i got a bit of hot embers in my eye and some was still in there i could of done some damage to my eye but the doctor on dutie fixed the problem i got in straight away what would we do if we had no hospital i didnt have a car to get to coffs harbour hospital i would have to hitch hike what if i was aducted and killed along the way well the government is killing our little town of history we need to chain ourselves to the hospital hunger strike the whole town needs to join in and any near by town communitys that rely on our historic hospital and if the hospital was heratige listed they cant take it away from us we would loose out so much

you see i would suggest the reason for getting rid of the really old part / long term plan / they knew if they left it there it would be heritage listed and it friggen should have been anyway at least the exterior and i have sed this to like five ppl already today, they planned the whole darn thing as long back as getting rid of that part and putting up the caravan type hospital, sure services etc but you were all snowed with their rhetoric about how the old hosp was unusable in its original state, what a lot of fkn shit, that is a lie from the pit of HELL

PATRICIA R

Patricia Reed    On 2 occasions in the past 5 years I've needed to seek after hours care for a severe case of 'asthma like' symptoms associated with a heavy flu, and a corneal abrasion that left me temporarily unable to see out of my L eye. The fact that Bellingen Hospital was so close, and the prompt attention I received from the fabulous Emergency staff there, saved me needing to drive all the way to Coffs Base, under less than ideal conditions. It would be a complete travesty to lose this remarkable resource, and we simply cannot allow it to happen!

ANNETTE M

Annette M    The Accidents and Emergencies Department is a life saver for so many who wouldn't be able to make it to Coffs. The staff are not only knowledgeable, but also show tremendous empathy for the patients and their families. This hospital must be saved and not just become another nursing home.

MARGUERITE M

Marguerite M    A very dear friend of mine passed away at Bellingen Hospital on New Years eve a few years back. The staff were incredible. They treated him with compassion, great dignity and though he was not in paliative care, the aid rendered to him would have made Elizabeth Kubler Ross proud to know that such a quaint regional hospital could provide that level of care.

DEBBIE McF

Debbie McF     How about the gov use their brains if they have any, and think about what is best for the discrict and not what is best for them. This hospital also supports towns in wide area eg dorigo. How do they know whats best for the area when they don't live there would be a different story if they took on of the pollies hospitals away

PETER McG

Peter McG Saw the doco on this hospital on TV a while back (last year), it may have been 60 minutes, but you are right, you need this Hospital in Bellingen....

I work at the only hospital in Darwin NT, and see the same thing happening across Australia.......The bean counters, those not at the coalface, cut services to save money, and it gets them qudos, a promotion & they move on......

while we at the coalface pay a terrible price for this thoughtles stupidity afterwards, here we have had several coronial board of enquiry, and the people who answer these didn't make the cost cutting decisions at all, but they wear the fallout, scapegoated and blamed for the mistakes ..........

Hmmm, could it be that any health professional would be for all services to stay at Bello!!! lol

The Area Health Service and the Government couldn't care less. They have already made up their minds and it appears that nothing will change them. The closure has been in the pipe line for over 15 years.
