Wonderful doctors

Ophthalmology
December 13, 2023
I have glaucoma and have had numerous attacks of uveitis. I cannot praise the Ophthalmology Dept of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital highly enough. On several occasions I have had a uveitis flare up. When this occurs, I email the departmental secretary details and a photograph of the eye. Usually I am contacted by phone either 30 minutes and asked to attend for an emergency appointment ASAP. On one occasion I had 5 occlusion at the back of my eye. If it had not been treated so quickly I would now be blind in that eye. The Doctors are wonderful.

No hospital transport

December 13, 2023
At one time I got hospital transport now I have to make my own way and there is no buses were I live. It costs me up to £100 plus some weeks which I can't afford and the fact that I don't always feel well enough to use taxis I am 81 hrs old and have cancer and other illnesses it's disgusting.

I had my hernia operation there. The nurses on the ward were very helpful. The food was okay but the toilets were quite disgusting.

They sort everything out for me.

The consultants in Rheumatology are all good. I told one that I needed steroids and they gave them to me. They're marvellous. They deliver to me or my sister. They are great at ordering scans. They sort everything out no questions. There are no waits either.

easy to get around such a big hospital

December 12, 2023
It's not too bad. The staff are usually polite and and it's easy to get around the hospital. It is very big. I usually have my kidneys checked but I haven't been for while. I am waiting for my appointment as we speak. I am due one soon.

Never found out what it was.

December 12, 2023
My wife ended up in A&E. They said they didn't know why she was there and wouldn't let her in at first but once we explained we had come from the walk in centre they let us in. They did blood tests and couldn't find anything. They referred her onto a consultant two weeks later. Consultant asked why he wasn't called when she was in the hospital as he would have been able to help then and see what was going on. We never found out what it was.
