Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

I've been waiting for an op on my stomach. Twice now I've had the pre-op and then it's been cancelled. This latest pre-op is about to run out again too.

I got rushed in by ambulance. I was practically dead. They got me sorted to a degree.

I'm seen every 6 months and can't fault them. I can reach them over the phone. When we need information or advice they're really very good.

Had colonoscopy and still haven’t had results of biopsies taken ( 1 May) still awaiting for an appointment for colorectal surgery. I’m also waiting to hear from my prostate surgeon about lower abdomen weakness. I’m still waiting to hear from urology about having 6 monthly PSA tests. After 2 years of blood tests I’ve been moved back to yearly. NHS guidelines say I should remain on 6 monthly tests for another 3 years.

They said at a follow up haematology appointment that I could have called them as they had said previously because of the stem cell treatment that I would eventually get shingles and so I could have gone direct to them for help when I did get shingles. Which would have been good, but I didn't know. Excellent treatment but communication wasn't as clear.

I go every month as I have had eye infections. My vision has slightly improved.

The care was good and they got me back to health after having a stroke for the second time.

I was transferred to QE for surgery and had a tube in my head to remove the block/bleed. I was then put in an induced coma and came around about 3 to 4 days after being on life support. I was then in for 6 weeks and then transferred.

They did what they could but messed me up a bit.

I was sent with my 5 year old from the GP to A&E. They were concerned with his marks and breathing so they said it would be best to go to the Children's. They were good to check him.
