"Broken kneecap"

I was recently admitted to QMC Nottingham after falling over and shattering my kneecap. I was in a corridor for around 16 hours, I was told I was being sent home to wait for an op. At this point I was in excruciating pain and couldn’t move, a member of staff told me I was going home after my partner left me to go home for a small break. 

They then began to get other members of the team. They said this injury can be nursed at home. I asked how is that duty of care? They said my personal details out loud in front of people and said I am an able bodied woman. The nurse wheeled me into the corridor, made me get up and see if I could walk. 

I couldn’t even move my leg the slightest. The pain was excruciating and they kept pushing me to move,they held my leg and was moving it, even though I asked them to stop as I couldn’t do it. 

I eventually, with my partner's help, got onto another bed. He had to pull me up the bed. 

The member of staff then said guess we have to find a bed! 

I was transferred to Ear, Nose and Throat ward for a week for a shattered kneecap. 

I had the operation, and after 7 days I was moved to orthopaedic, finally was given the correct pain medication. 

Once I was told I was leaving I was moved whilst asleep right up to the bay. 

And then nurses pushed 4 beds on one side of the bay and I had to stay in the bed all day due to not having space to get out. 

There was a patient out next to me sharing the safe curtain. They tried to put a catheter into them without any screens etc as they were sharing my curtain!!

Shocking, absolutely shocking !!!
