"Ward was absolutely freezing"

I was recently admitted suffering from Arterial Fibrillation and shortness of breath which was a side effect of the medication I had been given.

I was admitted in a Resus ward which was absolutely freezing, even the staff were complaining about it. I was in there overnight, whether it was caused by the temperature or what I don't know, but by 5.15am Monday morning, I started with diarrhoea which when on for at least a couple of days.

I was moved into another ward with individual cubicles. Whilst in there a chap came and told me someone was coming from Cardiology with a view to moving me to their ward, but no one turned up.  I saw this chap a little later and beckoned him over, to which he said I will be there in a minute, but he never came back.

I was moved to an assessment ward, which must hold the record of being the most noisy ward in the hospital. One night they even had to call security, because there was a poor chap who would not stay in bed, but kept walking up and down the ward, in the end he had to be sedated. 

I was eventually moved to the Cardiology Short Stay Ward, which in my opinion I should have been moved to earlier seeing as they knew what the problem was, so in effect I had no need to go the assessment ward at all and go two nights without sleep.  I wear hearing aids and felt the need to keep them in so that I could hear the nurses when they came to see me.

I have no complaints whatsoever with the nursing staff, they couldn't have been any better.  My complaint is that I should have been put in the Cardiology ward a lot sooner, if I had, I may well have been home sooner... and been able to get a good nights sleep in a warm room.
