Iznájar Castle

Iznájar, Spain

Castillo de Iznájar is an 8th-century castle perched on the high ridge. It has a triangular design, truncated on the northeast side, with its longest side facing south, and a large central space. It is surrounded by a stretch of wall with flanking towers at the southeast and southwest corners. The east side is closed by a rectangular building, which is attached to the west with a pentagonal tower at the bow, and another tower in the east. Early access to the castle is believed to have been from the east side through a building attached to the primitive rectangular tower.

Unfortunately like all hospitals in Dublin, there is a significant wait for outpatient services. That being said, the service is of very high quality and the staff are professional, timely, and kind. They respond to all my questions and are comforting during procedures. Every part of the hospital is wheelchair accessible, with various quiet rooms available too. If you are to be here for a while, I strongly suggest getting a family member or friend to bring outside food. The shops available are overpriced and the food available for patients is mid at most. Patient food is fairly satiating however.

I arrived on Saturday morning with acute pain in the lymph node, I was quickly hospitalized, thank you very much, thank you for carefully taking blood from my thin vein!!!! But what happened at the appointment with doctor Hasееb Ali was terrible!!! I told a doctor named Hasееb Ali that my lymph node was very painful. He said it was not a lymph node!!! And he pressed and pressed and felt MY LYMPH NODE ON THE RIGHT BUTT. But this unfortunate doctor never decided what kind of lump was on the back of my head and went to another doctor ? The second doctor confirmed my opinion that it was a lymph node. If any of you don’t know, I’ll let you know that enlarged lymph nodes should not be subjected to pressure or palpation!!! If a real doctor is reading this message, please teach the doctors of this hospital where the lymph nodes are located in Homo sapiens!!! This doctor Hasееb Ali palpated my inflamed lymph node the size of a nut for about a minute ?‍♀️ He scared me by saying that it was not a lymph node, but some kind of tumor that was causing me unnecessary pain! If a doctor doesn’t know where a person’s lymph nodes are located, what does he even know about people as a specialist? Lord help me not to come to this doctor again. Thank you so much.

Specific to A&E but had underwhelming experiences in the other services as well. I appreciate the limitations staff are facing, but even taking those into account, A&E scores far below any reasonable standard for service, triage, care, process, diagnosis, procedure, security and information sharing. No exaggeration. I strongly urge anyone who has a choice where to be treated to avoid A&E at St James. I won’t detail my experience but it was harrowing and every hospital or clinic I’ve been on this planet was better, kinder, faster and safer than this forsaken place. Days later still waiting for my GP to get back to me, trying to get follow up diagnostics and a second opinion, dealing with at times excruciating pain.

It was such a bad hospital and worse patient service in emergency department. Such a unhealthy environment as patient's companions are getting sick while waiting in the hospital. In waiting room, you can smell pee and toilets. So expensive as for just an appointment you have to pay huge amount of money. Worse experience ever.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
