What I liked
The casualty staff were great and were regularly checking I was OK, even though the department was extremely busy with a lot of severe cases. The ward staff were also very good at hurrying up my scans etc because they knew I was anxious about having them done.
What could be improved
One member of staff on the ward was very patronizing (I'm only 18), and at times quite rude.
Anything else?
I was there with a suspected clot on my lungs and severe tachycardia, so the staff refused to let me walk for fear of me going into cardiac arrest. I could understand what they were saying, but none of them seemed to appreciate that I had a severe fear of lifts, and them getting angry wasn't doing anything for lowering my heart-rate.
