Fine

Maternity
October 19, 2022
The birth experience was fine. The recovery affected me. He was unsettled and the midwife came in and told me his cry was a hungry cry and to feed him, when I had been for the past three hours. When I got home and explained everything to the visiting student midwife - she looked in his mouth and discovered he was tongue tied and sent me to Kenilworth to have it done privately as its no longer accessed on the the NHS.

We were transferred to Heartlands Hospital from Birmingham Children’s Hospital as we live very close by. Heartlands team is equally good as BCH.

I went here for tests. They were nice, very nice. They explained things well and let me know what was going on. My daughter in law also had a baby there, the girls were brilliant.

Inconclusive test results

I went here for an eye test and scan. They said the results were inconclusive and I then had to go to Focus eye clinic for further tests.

Miscommunication

September 27, 2022
They sent my letter all about my knee replacement to the wrong place. They're regularly sending letters to the wrong place. A lot of miscommunication. Letter turn up and I end up missing the appointments or they're for the next day leaving not time to prepare.

Long waits due to waiting on results

September 16, 2022
I had stomach pains, the GPs had originally tried to treat me but the pains got really bad and I ended up going to A&E and was there for 12 hours. The 2nd time I went I had chest and back pains and was there for 10 hours. It's waiting on the results that take the majority of the time.
