The
organisation
of
this
hospital
is
an
absolute
joke.
My
first
point
of
contact,
Karen
Ricketts
took
my
details
wrong,
got
my
name
wrong
and
took
my
date
off
birth
wrong
so
that
when
I
got
to
the
hospital
they
were
surprised
to
see
I
wasn't
98
year
old
Helen.
Also
gave
the
wrong
appointment
time
in
an
email.
Thankfully
the
correct
time
was
in
the
attached
appointment
note.
Not
a
great
start,
Karen.
My
initial
consultation
was
in
the
hight
of
the
pandemic,
I
was
in
the
waiting
room
quite
a
while
so
I
saw
a
lot
of
people
come
and
go,
yet
chairs
were
not
cleaned
between
users.
There
are
higher
hygiene
practices
in
a
hair
salon.
Surgeon
was
good,
direct,
to
the
point.
Herself
and
the
other
doctor
I
saw
are
the
only
reason
this
review
isn't
one
star.
After
surgery
the
staff
were
rarely
seen
until
throwing
out
time.
I
asked
for
pain
killers
and
was
given
2
parasetomol
as
I
was
being
hurried
to
the
car.
The
pain
was
getting
worse
as
I
walked
to
the
car,
mentioned
this,
they
didn't
seem
worried.
I
didn't
make
it
half
way
home
and
my
husband
had
to
turn
around
as
he
was
so
worried
about
the
amount
of
pain
I
was
in.
The
nurse
showed
me
back
to
my
room
and
called
a
different
doctor.
He
was
pleasant
and
professional,
couldn't
understand
why
I
hadn't
been
offered
any
pain
meds
or
asked
how
the
pain
was
until
I
was
being
shown
out.
Told
the
nurse
to
give
some.
She
tried
to
give
me
more
paracetamol,
despite
me
having
been
given
them
30
minutes
earlier,
then
seemed
to
blame
me
that
they
hadn't
recorded
giving
me
them.
Eventually
got
stomger
pain
killers
and
left.
In
my
follow-up
phone
call,
my
surgeon
didn't
mention
anything
further.
Then
an
email
from
her
secretary,
Lisa
Cotton
stated
I
had
a
scan
booked
for
4
months
time.
No
other
information
such
as
a
time
or
location
or
even
if
this
was
included
in
the
initial
payment
or
if
I
was
expected
to
pay
additional.
Surely
if
I
am
to
pay
additional,
they
wouldn't
just
book
with
no
mention
of
it
to
me?
I
tried
to
call
Lisa
several
times
over
the
next
few
weeks
but
gave
up
after
being
unsuccessful.
I
figured
they
would
send
more
information
closer
to
the
time.
Two
days
before
the
scan
date
I
had
not
been
sent
any
more
information,
I
tried
to
get
in
touch
but
it
was
a
bank
holiday
weekend.
8am
of
the
scan
day
I
had
a
phone
call
from
one
Karen,
trying
to
resolve
the
issue,
but
the
department
that
does
the
scan
wasn't
in
until
later.
She
called
back
later
only
to
tell
me
the
department
wasn't
expecting
me,
the
scan
wasn't
booked,
but
I
could
call
Lisa
and
try
to
book
again!
Called
Lisa
and
what
a
surprise,
she
knows
nothing
about
it.
Karen
had
called
her
to
let
her
know
about
the
situation.
But
she
couldn't
do
anything...
I'd
have
to
speak
to
Karen.
Medical
bills
are
not
cheap
and
I
am
absolutely
disappointed
with
the
service
I
have
paid
out
of
pocket
for.
If
you
have
any
other
options,
USE
THEM
INSTEAD.
