From Patients
Everyone associated with Poems in the Waiting Room is delighted and inspired by the lovely comments we receive.
"I do so love your poems - so varied and beautiful, whether well-known or modern..." Patient Dorking
"What a really lovely idea! Thank you very much for lighting up our doctor's surgery waiting room. The day's weather was awful! The atmosphere in the waiting room none too healthy. But your poems are all wonderful - and meaningful. Well done and thanks......" Patient Ealing
"I write to thank you for Poems in the waiting room. You will not realise what a wonderful and altruistic service you are doing to many people whom life has dealt cards of worry and anxiety". Patient Yorkshire
"I just wanted to say thank you for bringing in some warm light where all is darkness, thank you for letting one know that there are people as yourselves who can make the world a better place." Patient London
"A brilliant idea - makes on forget one's problems and just relax and recall." Patient Clitheroe
"All best wishes for the continued success of PitWR - what a wonderful initiative. My father and sister are both GPs so I will make sure they know about it, if they don't already." Patient London
"What a truly delightful idea... It made a real difference to my visit to the doctor." Patient Rotherham
"It is meaningful and certainly a lovely way to help cheer people up when they are down." Patient Bury
"I am a widower who lives alone. At the age of 91 I am fortunate not to be visiting the waiting room of the local Medical Centre very often. But when I do so I always enjoy reading Poems in the Waiting Room." Patient Cumbria
"The poems speak to me and I am always amazed and reassured that vintage verse often has the same message as the new.. Keep up the good work and the mix." Patient Gloucester
"As a very appreciative reader of Poems in the Waiting Room I think the mix of old and new poems is excellent. I enjoy coming across poems which I learned during my schooldays." Patient Devon
I'm confined to an electric wheelchair so you can appreciate I spend a great deal of time in waiting rooms and hospitals. As a poetry lover and writer, I think you're project is a fabulous idea. Patient Coventry
I have always looked on poetry as a vital part of my life; it is there to enhance those precious moments as well as to ease the pain of the more difficult times... Thank you for being there for folks like me all over the country. Patient Bromsgrove
Your Poems in the Waiting Room are greatly appreciated. I read them regularly in my local surgery. Patient London
As someone who reads a lot of poetry and writes a bit of poetry I have found poetry to be very therapeutic (especially so after a traumatic loss about 10 years ago). It is great that you include quite a lot of poems by contemporary poets... Patient Cumbria
Thrilled that you have this amazing scheme up and running. My pal always gets a buzz out of reading your selections. Now to go back and study your website some more... Patient Berkshire
