"nothing I was treated very badly, ..."

About: Furness General Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

nothing I was treated very badly, waited a long time for things then to be given the wrong stuff. when I went back to the day care the nurse was going to give me a replacement but the head nurse started to complain.. & very grudgingly gave me1 pair of support stockings of the right size

What could be improved

the anesthetist left me with a very soar throat, I could hardly breath after the operation & I was just left to one side

the surgeon who operated on my leg did a bad job and I still have bad pain 6 months later, he sliced right across my leg above the knee!!

Also sending me to the wrong department for my 3 month check the Dr was lost & when I saw him he just told me I was discharged from the day clink, so I just went to A&E where I was told I had been sent to see the wrong Dr.

My Dr was not very happy about the treatment I received.
