The hospital as a whole seemed clean and functional. The nurses were quite poor on shift, I had to request pain meds when they were due each 6 hours otherwise I would miss them. They did not seem to listen to my pain meds and took me from tramadol one minute to paracetamol the next. At one point I had to explain that I was in pain, and that I either needed something stronger or that I would have to leave and go to purchase something stronger at the pharmacy! The doctor prescribed me pain meds to go home with, but the nurse did not give me the prescription. In the end after 5 days in agony at home I called 111 and was seen out of hours in a different hospital where I was prescribed morphine. The surgeon was excellent and this review in no way represents him or his staff, its just a shame the ward let him down with the after care
