Terrible left my partner in a Covid hot area

Partner was left in a Covid hot area even though she had no symptoms. My partner had only given birth to our first child just over 2 weeks ago so was still fragile. Only when I complained was she moved to the Women’s Hospital.

No consistency of care

March 23, 2020
Treatment for Graves Disease. Poor access to endocrinologist. Poor access to blood testing outside of the 6 monthly as prescribed by NICE. Should not be pushed to have a thyroidectomy or radiation as a first option. Should not be taken off anti thyroid drugs before being tested for antibodies. No consistency of care, Seen a different doctor every time. Wished not to go for definitive treatment not respected.

Stated by doctors i had an operation i did not have. Second visit was apologised to after they had read wrong recirds. Subsequently my records have a lot of mis information on them so i suspect this has happened again.

Receptionist very nice. No hand gel available, with all the virus’s around at the moment not good enough. Very chaotic, bins were full and smelling. Lack of information.

Had an appointment and staff at the main door pointed me in the right direction. I found the toilets to be really dirty - disabled toilet. Staff was nice in the out patient on the first floor.

I waited for almost 6 hours before seen

I had a fall and was taken to A&E where I waited for almost 6 hours before seen by doctor. It was an agonising wait for a 91 years old. Although once seen the doctors and nurses were very good and helped me a lot with everything.
