Walsall Manor hospital, where to start. I lost my Wife to lung cancer in 2020. My wife got omitted with low salt and potassium levels twice, and sent home twice. Only when being omitted for the 3rd time did they xray and found a growth on her lung. She had a biopsy, and sent home. Please bear in mind this was during the covid pandemic. The Manor hospital phoned my wife's mobile phone, which I answered, it was a Friday, and my wife had an appointment to see a cancer specialist the following Monday. During the phone call with the cancer nurse, she informed my wife and I, she had the results of the biopsy, taken from her lung, and asked did we want the results, over the phone, which we both agreed, that yes we did. We were told she had small cell stage 2 cancer, and as a result would like us to attend the scheduled appointment on the Monday, and the following week, my wife would start chemotherapy.
However on the Monday of the appointment, we were both blindsided. We got told chemotherapy was not an option, and she only had weeks to months to live. At which point my wife and I are both shell shocked, and both the consultant and cancer nurse, just remained silent, waiting for us to leave. My wife then got emitted back in the Manor hospital due to complications in going to the toilet. In a time when no family members could be present. I had a phone call from my wife, crying in tears, saying that her medication was being withheld, a palliative patient. This conversation was overheard by a nurse who my wife worked with. I told the nurse I'm coming to collect my wife, has we had her medication at home, and we would deliver it, as and when needed. I then got told my wife, a palliative patient had come into contact with another patient, on the ward who had covid. I then asked the duty nurse, if all doctors and nurses on said would be isolating, like we were told too. The duty nurses reply was, that's impossible, we wouldn't have any staff. Staff which could also now be infected, not following protocol, while possibly infecting other patients.
Incidentally my wife worked for Walsall NHS trust for years.
I now face the same situation, and spoke to my pain has no relevance, and no operation to relieve it. It's no wonder people choose suicide.
I have photographs and documentation of hospital notes of my late father's lack of treatment by Walsall Manor hospital and its community nurses. I wrote to Richard Kirby who was the man in charge at the time, who totally disregarded, and never replied. I wrote to Amir Khan who did answer the email, however because the community nurses couldn't be trusted, my father had to attend his gp clinic twice a week at the age of 82.
I wont allow this trust to treat me in this way. My father said to me, when you get to a certain age, you become invisible, unheard, and disrespected, and that's exactly how I was treated by Mr W Goude on the 18th September 2024.
Some staff are nice and some need to go back to charm school they are very rude and ignorant I know it can be stressful but ain’t we all got jobs like that what happened to the nurses and doctors that was caring not no more some are very caring but only a minority take my hat off to those but the others you know what the jobs going to be like when you train to become a nurse or doctor so iff you can’t ack it get another career!
A perfect hospital to provide care for all their service users.
Everything was very good
I have had a lot of treatment in the last four years at The Manor and can only highly recommend and praise the hospital.
From cleaners right through to the nurses, Doctors and Consultant, I was treated with respect friendliness and kindness by everyone.
I have told all my family and friends about how I feel about the Manor and recommended that they use the Manor for any ailments etc. I can’t say more than as far as I am concerned “going private” wouldn’t by any better if as good.
I was treated for cancer and have received great follow-up.
The staff are really friendly but the patients are so bored staying in the wards where they don't have any TV to watch how do they manage their time in hospital it would be nice to have some kind of TV to keep them entertained so they recover quicker . patients can be in hospital for a long time which is not fair on them been in bed all day and nothing to do it could result in depression too I hope they sort this problem out
MRI department had a staff member who is clearly deaf as she asked for everyone’s name and date of birth and address, no privacy if data protection, scammers no need to go through files etc sit in the MRI department, no one will notice if people before and after you have been and gone, Natasha at the desk pointed out that I had been attended to after I complained of watching people come and go that had all arrived after me, I was told she hadn’t even put my name in the list, although I had noticed the staff leaving through questionnaires picking anyone at randomn, clearly had a bad attitude and hated her job.
Excellent
During my breast cancer treatment at the Manor Hospital during COVID, the staff and treatment was faultless thank you
Would recommend the Manor to anyone.
