"It would have been better if there had been more staff who cared"

About: Royal Albert Edward Infirmary / Maternity

(as a parent/guardian),

Hours in labour, very short staffed, my daughters worst fear a c section. A mistake was made, the epidural was not connected the anesthetist made a big mistake. No apologies, just laughed. Due to the long labour and very strong pains she was exhausted in the end, had to have a c section.

One midwife who stayed with her was good.

It would have been better if there had been more staff who cared and don't have a bad attitude.

My other daughter is due soon. No way will she be going there.
