Disgusted with attitudes and care

"Disgusted with attitudes and care"

About: Royal Albert Edward Infirmary

(as a friend),

My friend was in AEU in Wigan Infirmary 3 weeks ago and was disgusted with the treatment. The attitude of the nurses was appalling resulting in my friend being left on her own without help. My friend also had to assist a patient in a nearby bed to eat as no one was helping her. Also the decorators came in and my sick friend was moved rooms 4 times which is appalling. It was so bad that my friend discharged herself as she believed she would have died there had she stayed. She needed antibiotics but the doctor refused to prescribe any for her, laughing at her. She ended up going to see her GP who sorted her prescription out when she got home.
