Probably the worst hospital in the Northwest, we were sent to the SAU ward from our GP with a suspected ovarian cyst and possible kidney stones, it was also likely that the cyst was infected and if it burst could cause toxic shock which is life threatening. Attended the ward at 1pm and waited, and waited. We saw a nurse three hours later who took my wife’s blood pressure then we waited again. She then saw a doctor about three hours later who said yes you will be being admitted and she was going to recommend a CT scan and ultrasound but she wouldn’t be going home. An hour later we saw another doctor who told us to go home and come back at 8am the following day. We may as well have stayed at home in the first place. The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Worst hospital around. People say the NHS is the envy of the world, ha ! Why has it never been copied then
