"Working against difficult times"

Have had intermittent bleeding and told to call the ward when it started again. Was given an appointment for 3pm that day. Waited over 2 hours from arrival to be seen. Consultant was understanding but the procedure still hurt. A polyp was diagnosed and a sample taken which was very painful and resulted in bleeding which wouldn't stop and I had to be admitted. This was at 5pm and I wasn't transferred to a bed until 9pm by which time I was stiff, cold and sore. I realise this is not the nurses fault as they are working against difficult times. When I got to my room I had asked for a gown but it wasn't provided and I slept in my top . Some of my medication couldn't be sourced either. The staff themselves were all brilliant, doing the best they can with the facilities to hand.
