Fobbed me off

August 16, 2022
I went to A&E, the doctor sent me home with anti-sickness tablets. They just didn't understand how much pain I was in and fobbed me off. I was taken back to hospital by an ambulance less than 12 hours later where they admitted me.

It was good

It was good, last went when son was born. I was there in a ward for 15 days and moved to another. First ward was good but the second wasn’t good. Nobody cared after I had C-Section.

Really understaffed

Staffing is really bad. It's terrible, really understaffed. 12 patients to one nurse. Something needs to be done.

She missed her appointment

July 28, 2022
My mom was referred to spinal unit and she received the letter for appointment by post on Monday at 11:30 but her appointment was at 9:30 the same morning. She missed her appointment due to poor communication.

Terrible

July 28, 2022
Tooth became infected so I ended up in A&E and needed antibiotics. Terrible, really bad. Gave me morphine on arrival and then left me 6 hours without pain relief. The nurse was really rude.

Don't like the hospital

They were okay, but I don't like the hospital. It's too big and hard to get around.

Went there when when I broke my foot. I was in A&E. I had to wait all day waiting to see a doctor. I had to sleep with my foot in the air.
