This hospital is a complete disgrace.I had the misfortune to be there for some length of time.I was treated like a child, patronized, and not listened to.I have not been helped, due to gastroenterologists and their narrow-mindedness.They have been misled by wrong information in my medical records that one gp wrote.They refused to admit that gps can and do make huge errors.I pleaded with this hospital's staff to listen to the truth I was saying, and to not cover up the fact that one gp had made a grave error.I have a physical health issue.This hospital did not help, did not listen, and did not care.The gastroenterologists I saw were so blinkered in their approach.I am a grown up and should have been heard and should have been helped.I was treated with no respect by anybody here.When I was taking a shower, one nurse spoke to me in such a horrid way, as if I were about three years old.She said "Do you need the wee wees or the poo poos".I would not, in fact, have ever spoken like that to anybody, not even children, and I am a teacher.I am disgusted by all I witnessed whilst in this hospital.I saw an older lady, who had a stomach problem, become so ill by getting a leg ulcer whilst she was there.She was in so much pain with her leg, that she held her ulcerated leg out of the bed for some relief, but the nurses shouted at her, and kept shoving her leg with some force back on the bed, making her have covers on it, which obviously rubbed on her leg and gave her such discomfort.Another lady near me had an operation on her stomach and they mistakenly cut into her bowel.She was meant to be there for a minor stomach problem for a few days.Surgeons cut into the wrong part, as in her bowel, so she needed several operations and was there for four months!!!!The nurses here were so rude, so patronizing, and they laughed at patients and made fun of them.I was treated so badly and I witnessed others get treated extremely badly too.I could write a whole essay about all the disgusting things I witnessed, and about how I was misdiagnosed, and never listened to or helped.I have been left in agony, and sent home to suffer, because staff here refused to admit previous errors.I can write many things here, which are all very negative, but I hope from this review that everybody realises this hospital is awful.It is inadequate.Proper procedures are not adhered to.Staff, including consultants, misdiagnose, and are narrow-minded.Nurses are patronizing, and do not care, but think that's okay behaviour.I will never trust this hospital.
