"Real Poor"

About: Wexham Park Hospital

Really poor experience went in for Day surgery expected to come home unfortunately had to stay due to the amount of pain, but tbh nobody cared, that actually made me feel like a burden from time I entered for my operation until they kicked me out, (apart from anesthetiser team before my operation and obviously the surgeon as I was a sleep - there was a couple night nurses that were nice and polite) so I don’t want to tarnish everyone —- the recovery team need to learn some manners and how to treat individuals as ppl and not stereo type everyone , each individual person has different threshold, but these NHS doctors and nurses expected to be treated like they are gods gift to world inside and outside of work, so do the rest of us measly humans also btw I have children who are trained Dr’s too. I kept complaining that my pain was high and the kept giving me morphine small doses or high I have no clue. However it didn’t work. One nurse sarcasticly said I guess your staying the night, as if I was being done a favour when last time I checked I have been contributing to nhs via my fairly decent wages. The other nurse for late was more pleasant and told me my blood pressure had dropped, that’s why I was wondering potentially why I was feeling weak and disoriented nice guy, sorted me even when they took me to a ward, the night nurse there was nice too over night, in the morning shift change I then felt different again, one nurse making comments like some ppl just don’t want to leave - we need the beds etc. A little later dr came to do rounds he came to check, and said all is good no swelling, no bleeding etc and nurse said Bp is a bit low - response was will be fine , go home - didn’t even bother to ask how I felt, I was in a lot of pain still and I was thinking are you that ignorant , my area of operation was swollen like a beach ball and another part next to it. I told them about passing water was painful- told me see my gp if an week not gone - thinking really ! So I got up in a lot of pain and still very disoriented and called my family to pick me up. The nurse asked me if had been given surgery socks as well as for prevention against clotting when I was leaving I said no, looked confused. Anyway then I got ready ready to leave - they gave me a couple off dressing and medication - but still no socks or any antibiotics. Another nurse told me not to rush leaving as she could see I was unwell, but I had to get out of there. It’s unbelievable in this day and age we treat ppl like this and then wonder why NHS is in such a state, you pay all this money for ignorance now I have arranged to see a my doctor when I should be recovering instead I am feeling depressed and stressed due to the poor after care.
