Staff made my stay much easier to cope with

"Staff made my stay much easier to cope with"

About: Sandwell General Hospital / General surgery West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

From the time I had contact with 111/ambulance crew/A&E/lyndon2 and priory 3, I can only say that I was treated with care and respect.

Not being a big lover of anything medical at all, I have to say that the staff made it that much easier to cope with. They were compassionate, shared my humor and tried to make me comfortable as quick as possible. It is always the bad reports that you tend to hear and felt I must share the fact that my stay there was not a bad experience.

Of course you see staff that do their job well and others that go the extra mile for their patients. Unfortunately you still notice staff whose attitude and helpfulness could improve. I personally had great staff throughout my 6 day stay.

My advice to young doctors male and female would be lose the heels on the night shift.....
