Heartless Hospital

University hospitals Birmingham are awful, Good Hope hospital is more like NO HOPE HOSPITAL and Heartlands hospital should most definitely be call HEARTLESS HOSPITAL!!!!

After a 10 months wait to see a consultant and then having a scan on my kidneys to what the lumps are, I’ve now been waiting for my results. I’ve telephoned on a number of occasions but the won’t give me my results and I have to wait for an appointment for a doctor to speak to me.

I did have an appointment but they cancelled it and not given me another one.

I’ve spoken to PALs and made an official complaint but they haven’t responded and still no results.

It’s now been 6 weeks since my scan and this is beyond a joke.

It’s my brothers funeral next week, he died late last month after getting cancer which started in his kidney. I explained this to the hospital and expressed my concerns but they just don’t care.

The people responsible for these hospitals should hang their heads in shame.
