"Rude staff told me to leave waiting area!"

About: Stamford & Rutland Hospital

Accompanied my 20 year old daughter for a urology appointment (which she is extremely anxious about) when rather abruptly and rudely a member staff asked me to leave the waiting room and wait in the overpriced cafe. There were no other people in waiting room other than myself and my daughter?! On top of this I’ve just had my 6th cycle of chemotherapy (which you can clearly see from my bald head and no eyebrows) and didn’t fancy having to walk the convoluted, lengthy walk I’d just done to arrive at the Greenwood day unit. I asked why I had to wait elsewhere to be told that they have 20 patients coming in so there isn’t a lot enough room for me to wait?! What 20 people at once were about to walk in?! I’m absolutely fuming. Unnecessarily rude! And my poor, frightened daughter hasn’t got her mum by her side! Disgusting!
