New Cross Hospital 2012-07-11 Person 2 5 0

I had my c - section done at New Cross and I can honestly say I was hacked to pieces! The surgeon was rough and I have since had 3 infections in it. Following the surgery, my midwife was so appalled by my wound that she wrote an incident report about it. In addition, at 3 and a half weeks old, my son was admitted to New Cross with Pyloric Stenosis. After being in the Pediatric Assessment Unit, we overheard the consultant give incorrect information to the Junior doctors (see my review of Dr. Dison), I was told to go home as my son was "only borderline malnourished" and come back in 2 days and was then given a very hard time about my desire to have him transferred to Bham Childrens Hospital. My wish was granted and my son was transferred. Upon arrival to the Childrens Hospital, I was informed that the drip which was in my sons canular was not large enough and therefore he wasn't getting the correct amount of fluids and the syringe they were using (sorry I don't know the technical terms) in order to pump his stomach was equally not suitable and therefore when the nurses informed me that his stomach was empty at New Cross, It in fact was not and had to be drained further. If you have a sick child, please take them to Bham Childrens Hospital - they were amazing, do not go through what I have had to go through at New Cross!!
