"cannot believe the disorganised way things are..."

About: Leicester General Hospital

Anything else?

My father who is 85 years old was addmitted to the urology department due to ablocked uretha, caused by prostate cancer.He was cathetrised without any anesthetic, which was very painfull and distressing for him, this caused his blood pressure to soar.After sitting around for 5 hrs he was admitted to ward 29, he was kept in for 5 nights and was moved into 5 different beds on wards 28 and 29, he was so confused and disorientated at the end of his stay he is still traumatised by the experience.
