"I didn't like anything about ..."

About: Leeds General Infirmary

(as the patient),

What I liked

I didn't like anything about this hospital, the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

I was left in a waiting room with a broken ankle for 6 hours, then told to go home.

Then received a phone call from the hospital asking why I had gone home.

When I returned to the hospital the doctor almost refused to treat me because I had gone home - on their advice.

I was given misleading information before an operation, I was woken in the middle of the night and persuaded to sign a consent form for an operation the next morning without knowing what I was signing and without being given the full information.

When I came to complain the hospital had lost my records.
