"Bring back Matrons"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

Anything else?

The nurse's were pleasant but my memories of this ward are not nice. I was going through a missed miscarriage. The night before admission, the ward called me asking if I could go to another hospital. When I looked it up it was for terminations of pregnancy. Horrified, my partner rang ward 9 and they agreed to admit me. Paracetamol and codeine weren't enough pain medication. I spent over an hour rocking back and forth trying to breathe through the pain. When pain relief was given, it was too late.
