My grandson in his 20s is currently on Todd ward after a liver transplant, the care he is receiving is appalling, he has now been in chronic pain for 4 days , can’t sleep don’t feel like eating , the pain killers he is receiving are not helping at all , and after saying this many times nothing has changed , the staff are very slow in there response to pushing the button , which I might add he doesn’t do unless he really needs to.
He is a model patient and not at all needy , there is no communication they don’t know anything when asked , no empathy or compassion and they are definitely not run off there feet most of time there, sitting on their screens god knows why ? Because they're obviously not finding out about their patients otherwise they would know more.
Must say there are a couple who are not to bad , and the doctors when you get to see them are in the most part helpful but the ward it’s self is very incapable of proper care .
