"Staff seemed annoyed at me"

About: Royal Hallamshire Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

The staff at jessops were very horrible to me, I came in jessops with strong contractions, the staff was very annoyed as I didn't phone them before I came in even though I told them each time I was trying to phone them it was engaged.

Staff was very unprofessional as they kept on laughing when I was screaming in agony.

Staff didn't believe me when I told them I was in agony and that I wasn't coping with pain, they just wanted me to leave and come back later, but the baby was on her way out.

Aftercare at jessops was even worse as I had catheter in and couldn't move I was pressing the buzzer for help they'd come 5-10 minutes later and seemed annoyed as I pressed buzzer.

When I needed baby feeds I had to asked in the staff room, but they were sitting in a big circle enjoying tea and biscuits and chatting away, they were fully aware of my presence but they ignored me.

On the day I was leaving the hospital, I was going to used a bathroom and there were 2 midwives they was laughing and joking with each other, then one of them said to me lose some weight, I was appalled by the staffs attitude and behaviour.

Lastly bit of the hospital I saw were very untidy with dried blood stains in some areas.

I'd rather forget about my experience at Jessops, and move on with my life. Hopefully I won't ever be in that situation again. I told my story so the hospital service can improve for other patients in the future.
