No expertise, no medication, a poor hospital

November 15, 2023
It took 3 to 4 hours before I was seen at A&E. It took all day to get an MRI and I had a prolapsed disc in my spine. There was no one with expertise at the hospital so they had to send x-rays to the QE. They charged me £45 for medication because they didn't admit me and I was in there for less than 24 hours. They didn't have any medication to give me before they discharged me and had to scramble around to get co-codamol when I was given something stronger by paramedics and was in loads of pain. They told me to come back at 8:00am the next day for the pharmacy. When I get there I was told it didn't open until 10:30am. Poor Poor hospital

I didn't wait long for the referral

I had a really bad knee and I was referred here for x-rays. I still don't know what is wrong. I didn't wait ages for the referral and be seen.

Problems during blood test.

November 6, 2023
I had problems with blood tests here. I have small veins and the lady blocked my veins and said she hated that because she couldn't find a vein. They're meant to be nice and she wasn't.

Staff's attitude is questionable

You just wait hours on end. You do get seen eventually but it's busy and it's a long wait. The staff's attitude is questionable.

They made me feel comfortable.

They made me feel comfortable. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable over the three weeks I was in there. They were really good. One nurse bought me a cake for my birthday and they were really good. Everyone went out of their way to chat.
