I returned from a holiday in September feeling unwell. On arrival home the wife made an appointment to see my GP. This was done at 6.45pm and half an hour later I was at A and E with a letter from the GP.
By 4am the next day I was in AMU where it was found that I had legionnaires. I was then transferred to 117 and just when I thought in myself I was getting better found myself on Critical care where the lights went out for 2 1/2 weeks.
The next thing I knew I was in a bed on pod 3 of the HD unit just across from the Cc room I had spent the last fortnight, then after a short stay it was moving time again first to SSC1 then SSC2 then back to 117,
I have nothing but praise for all the staff that looked after me and my family cant say enough about the staff and the care they provided whilst I was out of it.
The only problems I see at the hospital are the diabolic parking facilities, Why build a super facility for such a huge catchment area then fail to provide adequate parking with now extortionate charges.
I have to visit outpatient clinics. I cannot say how long I will be there so I pay for more time than I need. Do I get a refund for the time not used? No. Someone is making a load of money.
"Thank you to all"
