"I went in to deal with some scar ..."

About: Selly Oak Hospital (Acute)

(as the patient),

What I liked

I went in to deal with some scar tissue from some previous surgery. I had to stay in ward D3, and at all times the nurses were helpful and friendly. The food, whilst not up to restaurent standards, was good. The level of hygiene was exceptional. Hand gels were everywhere, and, unlike some hospitals, were used regularly. This was a wonderful place to stay, and even though I'm usually in a rush to leave hospitals, I would have been happy to stay a few more days if needed. Ten out of ten for patient care.

What could be improved

The only problem was the number of attempts to get in and have treatment. This was the thitrd try, and done at quite short notice.

Anything else?

By far, the best hospital I have been in.
