Written by a patient
6th November 2019


I was a cancer patient in ward 62. I am still shocked to the core at how I was treated. The theatre recovery room nurse seemed unaware that I was having vision problems.She was too busy having a laugh at my expense! My vitals were not checked at all in the time I was there before being transfered back to the ward again nothing was checked untill the following day. I never had a qualified nurse come near me only a very rude to the point of aggressive female student nurse. She barked at me that my blood oxygen was low my temp was high and my blood pressure low as if I had did something to cause this.I had an NG feeding tube in place she said its not going through,WHY? Again acting as though my fault.She said well Im turning the flow up to 70 the pain was unspeakable! Did she think Im too old to make a fuss?That I would put up and shut up. I wont go into some of the shocking things that were done to me for legal reasons,but it will all be said by lawyers Im sure. I will say that never ever will I put a foot in that hospital again. The ward cleaner was a hard working lovely woman I would have given 5+ to, but for the fact that male visitors were allowed to use the toilet in my room,I am lying there with open wounds and all and sundry are using the patients wc. Have they never heard of infection control? WC in waiting room was used as a store. The complaints system is an utter joke I would advise anyone to bypass it and go for legal advice from the start should you have reason to. I daresay there are many devoted staff working in the hospital,pity none are in that ward apart from a young male student nurse and the ward cleaner. I have never spoken out of turn to NHS staff but I sorely wish I had given them an earbashing before I left esp the theatre/ward staff and the male physio. It is time to weed out the the bad apples in this particular barrel. Nurse manager/college of nursing and midwifery please take note.
