They took me straight through to A&E no problem. They did a lot of checks and questions. It wasn't long before they got me a bed. They were good.

Would run out of sandwiches

September 24, 2024
I wasn't at ward 20 for too long. The food was different and they often ran out of sandwiches and food I like. So that would be difficult. The care was great, I felt cared for. They did all they could.

Kept me comfortable.

I wouldn't say I enjoyed it but they kept me comfortable on ward 9 and the nurses were good. I stayed for 5 days.

Transport takes so long on discharge

September 24, 2024
The waiting around in discharge lounge has been the worst part. The take so long waiting for hospital transport. The staff have been kind, there isn't much they can do. You just have to sit and wait.

They gave me medication

I was at AMU for quite a while as there was a queue. Eventually they treated me and gave me medication. They did their best and told me what was happening.

I ended up at A&E as my blood pressure was through the roof. They were ever so quick before transferring me to AMU. They did a few checks then moved me. The staff were nice. They are doing their best.

A failed discharge

September 18, 2024
Rushed me in again so they said they had bought me back in as a failed discharge. They did checks in CDU which is meant to be a 4 hour discharge but I was there all night and discharged the next day.

Discharged me too soon.

September 18, 2024
My daughter in law came to get me from discharge lounge. I didn't feel well enough to be discharged but there was someone waiting for my bed so they rushed it. I got home and was rushed and admitted back in as I wasn't well enough to be home.

Forgot about me.

September 18, 2024
I was taken to ward 8 at 8AM by the porter, got half way there and was taken back because I was there too early. I waited 1 hour and then was taken back again. Wheeled me into the ward and stood me by a window. All the ward was full and they were waiting to discharge a lady and then give me the bed. I asked if there was a day room or area I could wait in so they took me to another room and forgot that I was there until 5PM. I had to wave the nurses down to find out.
