What I liked
I was referred to hospital for a hernia operation. I was in ACAD Department. I had never been in hospital before and did not know what to expect.

What could be improved
However, my friend who came to collect me after the operation said that she encountered some rudeness and unhelpfulness when asking for direcions to find me.
Anything else?
