They tell me I have to wait

Cancer services
November 29, 2022
They put me in touch with the counselling services Bupa or Macmillan. Cancer is an emotional disturbance. With my mental health sometimes they delay things with me. They tell me I have to wait to get an appointment.

They were understaffed

A&E
November 28, 2022
Was in A&E for 18 hours. Staff were brilliant but they were understaffed. The system is under pressure so you have to wait. But the actual service you receive from the staff is absolutely fantastic under the circumstances.

5 hours wait to see the doctor

November 28, 2022
5 hours wait to see the doctor. Doctor in hospital is very good. very good service. The hospital is very clean. But you have to wait for 5 to 6 hours which is not good. I don’t want to go to doctors, I don’t use medicine or needles in my life. Don’t eat from restaurants. We eat natural and fresh food.

Staff were very helpful

November 25, 2022
Had 10 radiotherapy sessions over there, traffic is horrendous. Staff were very helpful and explained everything, had a wheelchair between the two hospitals but all was okay. No taxi’s at QE, I’ve been standing there waiting for a taxi to come.

They are okay

November 25, 2022
They are okay. I know they are busy. Had my cataracts done, I didn’t know until the doctors told me. I had both eyes done. Only half an hour but they were good. Bit strange because you are awake looking up. They are so clever.

They send out results by letter

November 25, 2022
I don’t mind going there for some sort of appointment. They send out results by letter to me and surgery. Having the results means I can change and make my cholesterol lower.
