"It's a shambles."

About: Eastbourne District General Hospital

First time I went to get an mri scan there they did not give me the correct information which lead to them cancelling my appointment because I wasn't given a time frame in which to drink the mannitol fluid. When I was told I couldn't be seen the radiographer was very rude, I was petrified any way because I've never had an mri scan. Not only were they rude, whilst waiting for my scan they left an elderly lady in a movable bed just in the corridor and I was there for atleast an hour and no one had even checked on her.
