The NHS is fabulous. My four-and-a-half-year-old boy decided to place a small plastic ball up his nose.

After several attempts to blow it out it got lodged at the top end of his nose.

Arriving at A&E, we were seen within ten minutes and two wonderful nurses, Tracey and Gill, took charge.

My little boy, Harvey, was very distressed.

They were fab with him and after a few tries made a very quick decision to take him to ear, nose and throat, where a doctor introduced himself and a friend, a cuddly toy, instantly putting Harvey at ease.

And with specialised equipment took the yellow ball from his nose.

Well done and thank you all.
