10 hours waiting to be seen by the doctor and that’s for 76 year old woman who can not sit for so long because she had a spinal surgery a month age . She was crying.
I checked in with reception who were courteous and polite. I firstly was told to sit in a certain area which later I found out was the wrong place . I thought I heard a nurse say my name however when I went up to him he said no it wasn’t me .
So 2 hours later I checked with reception once more and they told me the Dr has discharged me back to my GP . Apparently they couldn’t find me ! When I was sat there for over 2 hours . They apologised and said I would be called in if there was a cancelled appointment, I am still waiting for that call .
I/we were treated very well from arrival to departure
I arrived at 0945 hrs for a 11am appointment. Because I cannot walk for any distance without extreme pain I asked if I could have a wheelchair to take me to Outpatients 4. I waited 45 minutes and decided I would miss my appointment if I did not walk to Outpatients 4. Which I did. The Doctor booked me for an operation but told me that the indications I had received since being registered on 7th November 2023 were incorrect. As someone displaying severe symptoms I would probably have to wait another six months.for the operation. Otherwise I might have to
wait two years.. I indicated that I would be available at short notice in the event of a cancellation but nothing is being done to obtain my record from the Cardiology Unit at Basildon Hospital to enable this to take place. Not impressed overall. Brian Hughes, MBE
Because it’s true.
.
Visited the poly clinic in Harold wood due to a suspected wrist fracture while away on holiday. I was seen by the triage nurse quite quickly and then a clinician who organised for me to have a xray. Xray was taken and a wrist fracture was confirmed and a temporary cast applied.
.
The nurses were not the best, huddled in the little office. No one actually spoke to us or came out to check if the patients were OK. You had to go to them. Didn't feel very caring.
Because I appreciate servis
