3/5 Simone S. 2 years ago on Google
I
recently
spent
a
few
days
at
The
Avenue
and
I
think
3
stars
is
a
fair
review.
It
was
self
funded
surgery
and
the
hospital
component
cost
me
just
under
$11,000
for
a
2
night
stay.
The
room
probably
needed
a
repaint
2
years
ago,
but
to
be
fair
covid
may
be
delaying
things
like
this.
However
I
expect
cleanliness
in
a
private
hospital
to
be
exemplary
and
it
wasn't.
Care
levels
varied,
day
staff
were
always
good,
night
not
so
good.
Weekend,
ok,
but
clearly
not
in
the
loop
of
what
goes
on.
I
was
discharged
with
no
clear
after
care
instructions
and
still
bleeding.
14
days
later
I
am
still
bleeding
and
have
an
infected
wound.
I
have
had
to
have
the
wound
redressed
every
single
day
since
discharge
including
the
same
day
of
discharge,
multiple
times
per
day
in
the
first
week,
by
my
GP
and
on
days
he
couldn't
see
me
by
nurses
at
my
home.
The
lack
of
information
given
on
discharge,
to
me,
is
not
right.
Getting
discharged
was
an
ordeal
on
it's
own.
My
husband
picked
me
up,
we
live
over
an
hours
drive
away
and
discharge
is
9
-
9.30am.
When
he
arrived
just
after
9
I
told
him
that
I
was
told
we
have
to
wait
for
Pharmacy
to
bring
my
medication
up.
2
hours
later
and
we
were
still
sitting
there,
despite
asking
a
couple
of
times
about
it
as
the
place
most
certainly
was
not
busy.
At
about
11,
the
nurse,
likely
sensing
some
annoyance
by
us,
gave
me
some
discharge
papers
and
told
me
to
go
to
the
Pharmacy
ourselves
on
the
way
out.
The
medication
was
there,
packaged
with
my
name
on
it
so
I
presume
Pharmacy
had
no
intention
at
all
of
taking
it
to
my
room.
I
was
then
charged
for
the
medication,
despite
saying
I
had
a
PBS
safety
net
card
and
there
is
no
charge
on
that
PBS
medicine
(confirmed
when
I
got
the
same
medicine
on
script
from
my
GP,
cost
0.00).
Despite
my
husband
paying
for
2
hours
parking
when
picking
me
up,
the
over
2
hour
wait
for
something
we
did
ourselves
put
us
over
the
2
hour
limit.
If
I
receive
a
fine,
I
know
where
I
will
be
sending
it.
I
don't
enjoy
leaving
reviews
with
negativity,
however
I
expected
better
care
than
what
I
received.
I
work
in
the
Health
Sector,
so
do
have
care
knowledge.
