"really amazing consultant but Poor nursing care…"

I was admitted toward 19 and one thing I can say is the consultant I was under amazing and the way he is with his patients is amazing!

Sadly, the care on the ward really takes a lot to be desired. You are given a call buzzer If you require assistance and they say to use it, but my call buzz was ignored for three hours. I was sitting in a soiled pad for three hours and I couldn’t get anyone to answer the buzzer.

My request for pain relief took an hour but then on top of that the Nurse handed control drugs to the HCA who came to give it to me. I didn’t realise that Healthcare assistant was able to hand morphine to a patient!

I must Admit that the matron was really delightful and did help me out of a difficult situation.

So many of the HCA and nurses on ward 15 and Ward 19 are really professional and delightful and want to help but there are a nasty think that because someone has been prescribed morphine frequently that their pain should not be taken seriously and treated quickly.
