"Go somewhere else!"

About: Torbay Hospital

Anything else?

i am absolutely disgraced with this hospital 1 i came in to a and e and was waiting for 5 hours until someone gave me some painkillers i was then put into a ward and was in for 4 days. within these 4 days i was on drips and medication (completely out of it, being sick everything) to only find out a cyst that was discovered nearly 9 months previous was still in my ovary ( i had an mri , ultrasound, which found the cyst) even after i had a laperoscopy and was told the cyst had not been present so it had burst. surgeons obviously did not know what he was looking for absolutely disgusting!
