What I liked
One of the nurses was really freindly and he gave a happy atmosphere to such a depressing place.
What could be improved
Bar one of the nurses all of the staff need to learn a thing or two in communicatioin skills. A really ill women next to me was shouted at by a nurse, not long after the women was sick because they kept feeding her drugs on a empty stomach. I was basically ignored the whole time, i had been sent from bishop hospital to darlington for an overnight stay to have an MRI scan which DID NOT happen, with no explanation as to why. I wasnt even told the results of all of the tests that i had had and went home feeling worse then i was when i had arrived (the room was far too hot and was making me feel ill.) Also when i was wanting to go home i had to wait 3 hours for the consultants to say it was okay for me to go and they had no idea what was wrong with me anyway.
Anything else?
I think its so sad that Bishop Hospital has such little facilities as it is such a good place, and unlike the staff at Darlington, they actually keep you up to date with what is happening, and oviously show great care in their patients
