"Dire"

Anything else?

I pity those that are unable to attend any other hopsital in kent as this hospital is pretty dire. I lived in central london with 2 hospitals within walking distance, one was pretty poor but medway trumps that on all counts. The a&e area is depressing, hopeless, absolutely filthy and dire and thats before you even reach an examination room, just check the damn press. I would rather walk to gravesend hopsital than ever attend this site again, it gives me the shivers. The staff are generally quite brilliant, I am sorry for those that have to live with the poor management decisions that force them to work in such sorry and dire surroundings and circumstances. The maternity suite is god awful and the breastfeeding support and knowledge is pretty dire.. God forbid i'm ever unconscious and am taken to this god forbidden place without my knowledge...In fact, i'm going to write a note and stick it somewhere on my person to prevent that dire situation ever arising.
