Good experience of care when I had surgery
General Surgery
September 13, 2017
When I initially presented there, they listened, were attentive, very professional and they treated me with care and respect. They found the time to deal with me when I presented as an emergency and then had an operation.
tested falsley positive benzodiazepine drugs
Maternity
October 20, 2016
During my pregnancy I kept testing positive for a drug that would have had implications on the development of the fetus, I was not taking the drug. When I gave birth they did a tox screen which took 4 days (without my knowledge or consent). This delayed discharge from the hospital and I did not know why. I was later told that there had been a fault with lab tests which was causing false positive results.
Husband in hospital in very bad pain
Cancer services
August 19, 2016
Husband in hospital in very bad pain and was not given pain relief.
My husband was a patient for 4 days. He had cancer of the spine (and in other organs). He had a bell next to his bed that he was told to ring if he was in pain and needed staff. On one occasion he had been pressing the bell and asking for help five times and no-one came. A relative visited him and found him crying in pain. She asked the ward sister if she would go and look at him – she was told that the ward sister did not have time. She approached another nurse who was with the drugs station, she told my daughter that she could not leave the drugs to go and attend to him.

Horrible. Staff neglecting patients.
December 31, 2014
Whilst at good hope hospital I saw many bad practices followed. Staff neglecting patients, especially the vulnerable like the elderly. Examples of senior nurses rude to both the patients and visitors, was also present. Just a bad place to be. Avoid taking loved ones there
Regular appointments for myself and husband

Always understanding and listen to what we have to say and spend time explaining medication etc
