"AAC Care none existant"

After being moved from A+E at approxamately 0330 to AAC(ward 9)the problems started my wife went home and returned at 1130am to find me`thrashing about on my bed`in agony other patient`s on the ward informed my wife that i had been in that state for at least 3 hrs with little observation being taken on me.On my wifes return and finding me in such a state a nurse was found and demanded that pain killers were given,this took another 35/40 minutes, even to get this done nurses had to be approached every 5 minutes to find out when the pain killer would be given. Throughout the whole episode there seemed to be a total lack of concern by the staff in this ward.This is proved by the fact that when the nurse brought the double dose of Tramadol and Morphine which had to authorised by two senior staff.The pain killer was left unattended for several minutes while the nurse went somewhere else as she had forgotten something. Thankfully on being moved to ward 11 and put in the care of the consultant and staff, plus the Blue and Red teams of ward 11 the care improved greatly.
