Written by a patient
20th October 2015


Staff care was fine, but lack of communication to patients. I was lying on a bed with suspected lower spinal trauma so unable to move. Took 2 hours to get an x-ray and was left in a corridor unattended, along with many others. No communication or idea of where in the queue - maybe an updating display board. When you are lying a bed worrying if you will be okay it is very much like you have been abandoned - someone in admin should try it to see from a patient's perspective. Staff all very helpful, but system is shaky.
