"Worrying"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital

The treatment I received was adequate. However, things could have been much different if family members had not noticed I had the wrong hospital wrist band on. By which time I had been in the department for a long period of time and according to the name band not only had my name changed but I also had aged almost 60 years!! Very worrying how simple mistakes are made!
