I had an appointment with the physiotherapy department today in Rotherham regarding my wrists, and I am not happy with the outcome as I was left feeling worse about the problem, the women that dealt with me was unhelpful, and quite rude with the way she spoke to me. I ended up bursting into tears in the room, and they said that the problem with my wrists are normal, even though I have had x- rays on both wrists to prove that is not the case. When I asked about having the operation on my wrists to fix the problem, she informed me that I would not be able to have that done, and I should of not been told that would be an option. ( I was told that was an option in 2021) The pain in my wrists have gotten so bad that I am unable to work in warehouses, and struggle to carry my 2 year old son, who is disabled. I feel that this appointment was a waste of time as the women was asking me what to do next, and I came to them for that reason, they just gave me wrists supports that I cannot use while dealing with me son, and told me to download an app to do some exercises to strengthen my wrist as they are too mobile. When I asked why that was she said it could happen when you give birth, but I have always had problems with my wrists. How am I supposed to get a help if I keep getting fobbed off.

Fell and broke my hip in a local restaurant. I couldn't move and was in terrible pain. Ambulance arrived within minutes. Pain relief given and taken to Rotherham Hospital. Ambulance staff, kind, considerate, professional and very reassuring. Taken to A & E. staff there were again wonderful. Not much of a wait. Doctor was quick to diagnose and give me a probable outcome of treatment and longer term prognosis. X rays done and pain block administered. Nursing and health care staff kept me positive. Admitted to ward about 1:30am. Total hip replacement done at 1:30pm, under a spinal anaesthetic. I was awake the whole time. I was terrified, (I am a worrier) but for no reason. Massive thanks to the theatre staff. The anaesthetist explained everything and reassured me the whole way through. The nursing staff, who actually made me laugh a some point, and as well as being totally professional managed to keep me distracted. I felt nothing at all during the procedure, dozed off to sleep for a while, and it all passed very quickly. The surgeons have done a truly amazing job. I am home and walking round the house and up and down stairs without crutches only 10 days after the op. Back on the wards I cannot praise enough the team that cared for me until I was discharged. Extremely professional, extremely kind and patient beyond belief. We could all learn a lot from them. Finally a special thank you to the ward clerk who went out of her way to make sure all my paperwork was done so that I could sort out insurances, Westfield and stuff when I got home. Rotherham Hospital you are simply the best. God bless you and God please bless our NHS.

Attended for a colposcopy examination recently. The nurse colposcopist was lovely, explained everything in detail before the examination and also during. Explained straight away what she could see which immediately put my mind at ease. The nurses also in attendance were friendly and chatty. Great care!
