Share review of Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital
The nursing staff who booked me in were brilliant (especially Paul, who was fantastic and kept me laughing at his terrible jokes and even gave me a hug when i said i was nervous) making what could have been a horrible experience much more bearable.
And I was never left alone so I didn't have time to be too nervous.
From arriving at the hospital to going down to theatre it was only 2 and a half hours.
The only downsides were being left for over 2 hours through the night with no water despite asking 3 times for some. I appreciate that the nurses are busy but I think that 2 hours is excessive.
And I wasn't warned just how painful it would be when I went home. The pain relief wasn't explained properly to me and I wasn't sent home with any despite it saying on the leaftlets that I would be.
I believe I would have been more comfortable if i'd been in an extra day then my pain relief would have been sorted out.
