I recently had to stay in Antrim area hospital to have my gall bladder removed has it was causing me some pain. I have no complaints about the medical and nursing staff they all did a 100% job in care not just for me but for the rest of the patients.
What do have a complaint about is, is the food that the patients, especially me, was, got to say disgusting.
I hardly ate any of it it was so bad, for breakfast one day I had porridge and it tasted like and looked like glue, or paste. For lunch I ordered soup, and it too was glutenous looking like an unset jelly, so another meal I ordered was a chicken curry and ended up with 2 sausages and mixed veg, the sausages looked like 2 turds on my plate,
As you can gather, I didn't eat vey much at my bedside and went to the main restaurant, although I had to pay for it I had no intention of eating utter crap.
I used to be a chef in my earlier years and did work in a hospital kitchen, and we prepped all meals for in-patients, nurses and doctors and visitors alike and I have to say the food we produced was something we were all very proud to make for all, but what I saw and tasted was below sub-standard.
Right from arriving at A&E the professional treatment and care I received was unreal . Doctors and All the nurses were just so sympathetic and caring .
I have to single out Craig a nurse who looked after me , he was informative and reassuring at a time when I was very anxious .
All the the doctors took time to explain how my treatment would take place .
All round Antrim Area Hospital gets a big 100% from me
From the time of my pre-op, throughout my overnight hospital stay, I was treated extremely well by staff at all levels and found the experience a very positive one. I was given clear information about my procedure, any questions I had were answered and I found the friendliness and helpfulness of staff very impressive. I am delighted to thank the hospital for the care shown to me.
Cut my hand and required stitching. Total time in A&E about 45 minutes. Seen by a very pleasant nurse who went through the whole treatment and gave me bandages and stitch removal kit.
Hope all my visits are like this one.
Thank you Antrim Hospital
