I stayed here with chest pains in pregnancy I went to accident and emergency in Salford royal as directed by St Mary triage.after 3 hours in that hospital u was told I should have gone straight to St Mary. I then had to sit a further 5 hours in mri accident and emergency. They said I needed to stay in to check for clots.i thought this was drastic but I understood that they had to review all possibilities .the next day I had a scan then waited a further 24 hours for another.i asked about the results of both as no one fed back to me after my first scan I which was around 3pm on a Wednesday I did not get the results of Dr until 9am the next day although when being scanned they said they tell them immediately. The second scan the staff said they would process the results immediately and send them over this was at 11am. I asked about 6pm then again an hour later and the midwife read the results were all clear and they were wrote in at 12.30.the doctor did not inform me again until 9am the next morning. They said I would have another scan that day.after asking every hour when this scan would be interested finally was told at 4.45 that I don't need the second scan. They read from my notes from the previous day that the second scan was not needed.so I basically could have left 28 hours earlier.The lack off communication was ridiculous and caused extra stress.the midwife was extremely helpful but others did not get me medication when I asked and appeared to forget about me.i am extremely dissatisfied as I chose this hospital as I had a good experience first time .how can I go there to have my child feeling this way .
