Worst
'pretend'
hospital
ever.
The
lovely
garden
at
the
front
promises
so
much,
but
ultimately
delivers
so
little.
My
elderly
mother
who
is
92
years
old
waited
in
the
ED
with
my
brother
for
over
7x
hours
on
Saturday
afterrnoon.&
was
eventually
admitted
for
4x
days,
so
obviously
it
wasn't
some
two
bit
nothing
footy
injury,
all
of
which
seemed
to
take
priority
at
the
time.
In
endeavouring
to
contact
her,
I
was
mucked
around
from
ward
to
ward,
until
they
finally
located
her
-
not
that
hard
one
would
imagine,
but
alas
no.
And,
whilst
granted
most
of
the
doctors
&
nurses
were
very
helpful
&
caring,
one
particularly
passive
aggressive
nurse
seemed
to
find
great
comfort
in
informing
me
that
having
waited
3x
hours
since
the
hospital
had
informed
me
that
she
was
ready
to
be
discharged,
that
they
had
obviously
'jumped
the
gun'
because
apparently
Mum
was
waiting
to
see
the
specialised
'nurse
at
home'
service
&
gleefully
explained
that
it
could
take
hours.
As
it
transpires,
this
interaction
had
actually
taken
place
earlier
that
morning
&
the
other
nurse
subsequently
informed
me
that
we
were
indeed
waiting
on
pharmacy
&
a
Doctor's
signature
which
took
another
half
an
hour.
The
pharmacist
subsequently
provided
a
convoluted
&
extremely
confusing
narrative
in
terms
of
the
probably
unnecessary
changes
that
they
had
made
to
Mum's
medication,
given
that
she
is
already
being
monitored
by
a
reputable
cardiologist
at
another
'real'
hospital
of
some
note.
I
mean
some
sort
of
effective
communication
wouldn't
go
astray
&
it
would
have
been
heartening
to
know
that
at
least
at
some
point
the
staff
might
have
possibly
been
on
the
same
page.
Given
that,
I
would
never
ever
recommend
this
hospital
to
anyone,
let
alone
a
vulnerable
elderly
woman
&
be
assured
that
both
my
brother
&
I
will
be
escalating
this
matter
further.
So,
do
with
that
what
you
will.
