my recent short stay in the MRI

Story from nhs.uk

"my recent short stay in the MRI"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

Anything else?

I have recently had a small procedure which involved a stay overnight in the Elective Treatment Center in the MRI. My comment is aimed at the people who ordain the general procedure on the ward The nurses as always were just superb but the pressure and stress they were under is noticable. Point 1. If patient care is ment to be the main focus of the NHS service then may I ask why After the hours of say 9pm are bleeping alarms going off? The ones patients use to summon a nurse, causing stress to sick people and interupting the sleep of all. These alams are some times left for several hours to bleep. why has a remote mobile unit not been installed that a nurse can have about her person. Point 2. There should also be a curfew on general noise My point here is that the rules seem to outway a patient requirments and no one seems to take on board that the patients suffer in silence. I was in for 1 night on my day of discharge I was made to wait 2 houres for the pharmacy to prepare my prescription why was this not done the day before?
