Horrendous

Whole Hospital
June 7, 2023
Having fall on one of the ward, no tests were done even tho I telling daily that I was in agony. When I eventually had a scan for something else they found that have 2 blood clots and broke my back in 2 places. No one even bothered telling me, I only found out when I was given my discharge letter as I was being wheeled off the ward because I couldn’t stand up

Poked and prodded, long waits

June 5, 2023
They tried to get mom out of her chair, she had oedema in her legs. She spent from Midnight to 9am waiting in the immediate care unit. She was poked and prodded, then they told us she has heart and renal failure. Apparently she had been referred from the GP. They has said it's not this, it's not that and told us to speak to the GP for a diagnosis. She was admitted to A&E 5 times because of the lack of intervention from the GP.

Not told about results of MRI

June 5, 2023
I had an MRI scan done in August 2022 and attended the A&E three times. I was given medication such as co-codamol and on the 3rd visit, they found out I had a problem with one of my discs and it was touching a nerve. The results from the MRI scan back in August 2022 had shown I had a tumor on my ovary but I was not told.

Much longer wait at the QE, probably the same at most hospitals. Staff are lovely. No communication about time especially A&E.

Very well organised clinic

June 2, 2023
The doctor that was treating me has moved now to Solihull, bit of a journey having to pay taxi fare. Can be an inconvenience. Very well organised clinic same as when I was at QE for injections in back. Consultant is brilliant.

I had a bleed on my brain, I was transferred from City Hospital to this hospital for an operation. I think the staff were good. I can't remember much, but they did the operation, then I was out.
