Had
a
brain
MRI
with
the
hospital
same
day
appointment.
Online
they
advertise
cutting
edge
technology
and
that
they
care
about
patient
experiences,
be
aware,
I
can
testify
that
they
do
not.
The
cost
for
an
old
MRI
scanner
was
4
times
higher
than
what
a
regional
private
hospital
is
offering
for
the
a
more
advanced
scan
of
higher
resolution.
They
will
book
you
in,
take
a
payment
and
send
you
round
before
you
know
what's
happening.
My
experience
was
then
to
have
an
older
MRI
scanner
that
caused
legitimately
painful
deep
vibrations
as
some
sequences
occurred,
while
not
being
properly
checked
on
between
sequences.
I
have
had
other
brain
MRi's
at
another
private
hospital
and
an
NHS
hospital,
they
were
not
painful
like
this
and
did
not
have
such
intense
vibrations
that
felt
like
the
brain
was
being
rattled
in
a
horrible
way.
I
became
worried
it
was
going
to
cause
an
injury
it
was
that
intense.
The
scan
was
almost
continuous
and
did
not
stop
to
ask
me
if
I
was
okay
between
sequences.
On
top
of
it
all
I
had
room
spinning
vertigo
the
night
after
the
scan,
not
a
symptom
I
have
suffered
previously.
It
has
left
me
anxious
about
the
experience
and
even
questioning
the
accuracy
of
the
scan.
Even
the
experience
of
the
hospital
was
poor,
the
department
smelling
of
vomit
as
I
walked
down
towards
the
MRI
reception
past
what
I
think
were
endoscopy
rooms.
Just
an
all
round
bad
experience
and
wouldn't
advise
anybody
to
go
to
the
hospital.
I
decided
to
get
a
second
opinion
elsewhere
straight
afterwards
because
of
the
experience
and
if
it
could
have
been
harmful
to
my
head.
Additionally,
due
to
not
having
confidence
in
the
images
taken
and
also
because
a
lower
quality
scan
was
used
for
a
high
resolution
purpose.
Of
course,
this
is
all
extra
cost
to
me
too.
I
have
approached
the
London
Clinic
for
a
refund
of
my
original
scan
cost
as
I
have
no
use
of
the
images,
I
was
mis-lead,
I
experienced
unnecessary
pain
and
left
disappointed
and
anxious.
Their
response
has
been
to
just
repeat
my
complaint
to
me
and
offer
to
resolve
absolutely
nothing.
I
will
be
taking
it
further.
So
for
those
reading,
take
away
the
following
message,
avoid
this
hospital
as
they
offer
second
rate
services
at
daylight
robbery
prices.
If
you
then
raise
a
complaint
it
has
to
be
sent
by
post
like
it
is
still
the
20th
century,
you
will
later
receive
a
reply
that
offers
no
resolution
other
than
sorry
no
refunds.
The
hospital
is
ran
as
a
strict
business
with
patient
experience
not
at
the
forefront
of
anything
they
do.
There
are
plenty
of
alternative
hospitals
in
London
and
the
wider
UK,
I
can
vouch
that
this
is
the
worst
hospital
out
of
5
hospitals
I
have
attended
in
my
life.
This
review
is
intended
to
help
patients
make
an
informed
decision
based
on
my
own
personal
patient
experience,
nothing
more.
