I went to hospital following my heart attack. I was in hospital for two weeks and in both the wards I was on (one was ward 9) the staff, the doctors and nurses were excellent, they were really hardworking and if you needed them you just had to ask and they’d be there, they really do work very hard and I was really pleased. One gripe I do have is the food, it wasn’t great, you’re meant to have a balanced diet but there was very little variation. I understand that they have a budget but the food really wasn’t appealing.
Another thing I want to say is that a lot of the nurses are student nurses, and I understand that they don’t get paid which seems unfair to me, I think they should get paid for all the hours they work but they don’t even get minimum wage and I don’t think hospitals could function without them.
