(as the patient),

I have attended a few appointments at St Georges Hospital in Tooting. Sadly I have experienced disappointing care from some nurses and doctors. Some of the nurses I met lacked professional knowledge as well as care. Years ago the situation in this regard was much more impressive. Some nurses who were participating in the post operative hand clinic didn't seem interested in the pain their patient was experiencing or to be very professional. The registrar or surgeon who operates is meant to see the patient's wound after a few weeks (according to what A&E told me) but it doesn't seem they are available to take care of their patients. Instead I saw another Surgeon but again it felt they lacked interest in their patient's wound or at least they seemed to show minimal interest.
