I
recently
went
into
A&E
with
severe
abdominal
pain.
11
hours
was
the
wait
time
and
I
heard
from
people
who
had
been
waiting
15
hours
to
be
seen.
Luckily
due
to
my
level
of
pain
I
was
seen
within
5
hours
and
4
hours
later
I
had
a
scan
to
reveal
appendicitis.
Considering
the
pressure
this
busy
hospital
is
under
99%
of
staff
were
helpful,
caring
and
knowledgeable.
The
F1
ward
were
fantastic,
as
was
the
doctor
I
saw
in
A&E
and
many
of
the
nurses
on
A6
were
brilliant.
My
surgery
team
were
great
too
and
I
am
recovering
well
from
a
successful
key
hole
surgery.
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
outstanding
care
I
received
when
I
needed
it.
For
the
reviews
that
complain
about
waiting
times,
do
they
not
realise
this
is
beyond
the
hospital's
control
and
that
they
are
doing
the
best
they
can?
The
government
are
massively
underfunding
the
NHS
and
care
homes
which
results
in
these
issues.
My
only
complaints
are
to
do
with
3
rude
staff,
it's
not
hard
to
maintain
a
bedside
manner.
My
radiologist
had
a
rude,
manner,
on
the
A6
ward
a
nurse
left
the
light
on
all
night
because
she
never
came
back
to
remove
the
finished
medicine
from
my
cannula.
The
nurse
doing
the
medicine
round
didn't
show
any
caring
personality
and
refused
to
give
me
higher
pain
relief
due
to
the
reason
I
hadn't
had
it
the
day
before.
Finally,
the
food
is
truly
awful.
