My experience under the orthopaedic team was excellent. The doctors, nurses, anaesthetists, support staff were excellent.
The aftercare from the Cope Team was also helpful and really appreciated.
After dialing 111 I was told to go to A&E. I was redirected by the security guard to the main entrance for an assessment.
It appeared that the Dr hadn't recieved the details of my referral from 111 as during my initial assessment I was somewhat dismissively told "you're young, we're going to give you a painkiller and send you home". I had to inform the Dr that I was here with a possible cerebro spinal fluid leak following a recent lumbar puncture, after which she changed her tone and said I should take my notes and wait in A&E.
I spent a total of 10 hours waiting through the night. I was called in for tests but wasn't updated, was just sent back out to the waiting room. I was starting to think I'd been forgotten about altogether when I was finally called in again after 6:00am to be admitted.
During testing I was treated with great care by the medical professionals, but I had no idea what was happening as I waited throughout the night.
It was very busy but staff checked on my problem and remained friendly and professional
The team were friendly and professional during my overnight stay and me comfortable as I was supposed to be a day surgery patient
The care and treatment I received was wonderful from all members of staff. Kind caring, nothing was ever too much trouble. NHS should be truly proud of all their staff. Thank you.
Because staff was respect despite being under staffed, they all did exceptionally great.
I was very pleased with the care given to me during my stay on the ward and with the follow up care with COPE
I can not thank the team that looked after me enough, their effort and compassion was second to none.
Lovely doctors came over every morning to give me a briefing and update on my health
It was the best hospital experience I have ever had. The hospital was very clean. I found it to be a happy experience during troubled times. Thank you.
