"Paediatric Care"

About: Derriford Hospital

Ive felt the doctors have given very little consideration as to the concerns for my sons wellbeing. We are 6 days in to my sons stay in hospital and still no diagnosis, with ongoing symptoms. Apparently they run on a skeleton crew of doctors on the weekends - which makes complete sense because people are only ill on weekdays. Their faces are looking at you talking but you can see their brains are loading up their preset retort, which generally consists of a polite way of saying: "I'm going to do what I want, regardless of what you think". The nurses are on the whole decent but really the whole set up is woefully lacking in efficiency. This whole experience has left me thinking - a) what ever you do don't get sick and b) if ones not on benefits we would be much better off on privatised health care. Please scrap this dysfunctional behemoth that is the NHS...
