They're really helpful, explain what’s going on and very quickly upload the blood results. They email and message me a few days before my appointment.

Explained procedure to me

February 6, 2023
Had biopsies and they removed the cancer from my throat. I had more biopsies and it was a day surgery. All went well and they explained what was happening.

Did not properly discharge my husband

February 6, 2023
Husband had a seizure, had a brain scan and was kept in hospital for 3 days. They phoned me and asked me to come fetch him and take him home. The nurse bought him out to me to the door. I then had a phone call later that day and was asked if my husband was with me as they did not discharge him. I did take him in on Wednesday for a brain scan.

Treated me great

January 31, 2023
Treated me great. Went in got my bed on the ward, put my stuff on the bed and went down to have my stent’s fitted. I don’t think they fitted the one properly as I could feel it when they were putting the liquid medicine it was coming out. I also did physiotherapy at the hospital after my heart attack. They were good.

Was alright

Was alright, it was day surgery. They told me about the procedure before I had it. I had something removed. Didn’t feel a thing. Wanted to get up and walk.

Care is biased

I feel care is based on race.

Referral took longer than I'd like

January 17, 2023
Son was referred from physiotherapist, referral took a little longer than I'd like. Letting us know which service we are coming to, needs to be made more clear. Parking is awful. Services are not collaborating with one another or at least I don't have visibility of that.

Treatment is so so

January 17, 2023
Been here since Christmas day. I've been on the high infectious diseases unit. Staff are temperamental, treatment is so so. They're trying to find me a placement. Longest I've stayed here is 6 months.
