I was left covered in my own sickness for over 30 minutes. General care from nurses was very poor and they blamed this on being understaffed. I was left for long periods of time without pain medication. The nurses blamed it on the fact that I needed a controlled drug so two members of nursing staff had to be available. They had no sympathy for me or my condition i feel and continually told me it was not their fault as there was not enough staff. They spoke to me in an unacceptable manner on several occasions in front of other patients. Another patient had buzzed for their assistance on several occasions due to there concerns over my health and we're reprimanded for doing so!
