I cannot thank the the staff, nurses and surgeons enough for the care given to my daughter. Right from the staff at desk at A&E who actually helped us get to where we had to go, to the nurses who were very kind and checked on her periodically to the surgeons who kept her involved before and after her operation and coming back over the next few days to see how she was. After starting out at Monklands and the way she was treated there, like she was a burden, I was so glad she got transferred to Wishaw.

My father who suffers from vascular dementia was recently admitted to Wishaw General with a viral infection and was treated there for several weeks. During his time as a patient within Ward 7 he was exceptionaly well looked after by all the staff who were unfailingly attentive, courteous and caring. As well as the medicinal course of treatment he also recieved 24 hour care and support to help him cope with his anxieties and confusion. During his hospitalisation I visted him on forty odd occasions and each time every member staff went out of their way to look out for him and to treat him with kindness and respect. I cannot begin to praise them as much as they deserve except to add that they are a credit to the NHS.

In on Friday 16th for Shoulder Op. From entry to exit, I was looked after with care and respect from staff who are fantastic! It's high time we all give credit where it's due. These in demand, overworked folk took great care of me and I can't thank them all enough.

I was recently admitted to hospital suffering from uncontrollable spasms and feeling as though I couldn't breath properly. I was put into ward 6. I had no control over my movements and my coordination was zero. I couldn't eat properly and unfortunately exhibited loud vocal noises. Only one nurse asked if I could control my spasms. The rest ignored me. Screens were drawn round me and two people came in to take me for an mri scan. I was roughly hauled to my feet, stripped of my pyjamas, re dressed in a gown, pushed into a wheelchair and was informed by an impatient carer " you're going for an mri ". I was then taken to a cold corridor and left to wait for the scan. I was asked to sign my name, which I could not do,due to my condition. A scan was carried out despite my inability to remain still. At no time did anyone tell me what was wrong with me. I was , at times, able to wash myself without aid, and also dry my hair. During one of seizure type episodes I overheard a nurse say to someone " up drying its hair this morning and sitting like that now. " as though I was shaking uncontrollably for attention. I realise that nurses are overworked but the sheer lack of compassion shown to me was breathtaking. I was frightened and didn't know what was wrong with me. It took a visit from a neurosurgeon from Queen Elizabeth Hospital to finally give me some hope that someone could help me. I was eventually moved from Wishaw General to Queen Elizabeth Hospital after 6 days. I was eventually diagnosed with NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, a rare brain infection which was the cause of my spasms and affected behaviour. After 6 weeks of treatment I returned home. The difference in the staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital from the staff at Wishaw General could not be more different. Care and compassion , hand in hand with great medical skill meant I was treated like an equal. A person worthy of respect. Sadly the staff in ward 6 at Wishaw General could use a lot more training in everyday values so that patients aren't treated like dirt. I sincerely hope I never have to experience this treatment again.

Most of the wards I was in were ok; however as normally is the case, there are those nursing staff and doctors/consultants who are that bit better ar going the extra mile to help their patients.
