"Long wait in A&E!"

I came to A&E with a referral from my GP after a diagnosis of C-Diff, I was informed I would need an intravenous antibiotic. I arrived on a Wednesday at lunch time and spent the next two days being moved from a corridor (which was extremely cold) to a waiting room and back to the corridor. I finally got a bed on the Friday, a nurse arranged this and I was extremely relieved as it was very comfortable and I was able to get some sleep.

I had a previous experience in this hospital which was not great, so I was anxious and nervous about having to stay in an open ward, I really don’t think that men and women should be mixed together. Since I have been on Female Medical my anxiety levels have eased, I have been given a room of my own and the nurses have been marvellous, everyone goes above and beyond in their care for all patients.
