What I liked
Nothing
What could be improved
Everything - I was admitted into hospital after attending my local primary care trust with severe pain in my lower abdomen.
After an initial examination i was referred to A&E who again examined me and thought it was best for me to be admittted to the ward for a scan. This was on the Wednesday, on Thursday still no scan and by Friday no scan either.
On one occassion i asked for pain relief at 7.45 am and finally received this at 11.45pm!! Which is a joke. I end up taking my own paracetamol which luckily i had in my bag.
On Friday morning i was then told by the consultant that if i did not get my scan that day day then i would be in all weekend, i could not stand a minute longer in that place and therfore he suggested he would organise for the scan to be done as an outpatient. To date im still waiting.....
I was discharge with no pain relief, no discharge letter for my doctor nothing.
Basically suffer in silence thats why i say!
Anything else?
My bed sheets were dirty had an old plaster stuck to them off someone else! The food was hurrendous i couldnt bare the smell never mind the taste!
"Nothing"
