"the fact that I was treated quickly, ..."

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow)

(as the patient),

What I liked

the fact that I was treated quickly, didn't have to wait for my op, some members of staff were worth their weight in gold.

Doctors were good, well informed me of any decisions and consequences and

The wards are clean and comfortable

What could be improved

The food was a disgrace, patients were left sitting on bedpans me included, one of which was 78 and had just had a hip replacement,

No pain relief offered unless you screamed for it [ surgical ward]. Some staff were abrupt and treated the patients like children, serious lack of empathy from some, one member off staff was just plain rude.
