I recently had a total knee op. The operating team, surgeon , anaesthetist were excellent.
However, I found the Thomas Ward appalling! I arrived at 7.00 am, they left me in a room completely isolated until 2.10 pm! Not informed about what was going on I became very anxious.
At 2.10 pm told to put on my gown for the operation in the very dirty toilet. Didn’t get a bed until 2.15 pm, no wrist band!
Operated on at 3.00. Ward staff had their coats on while on duty possibility of causing infections.
Ordered breakfast for next day, no food left!
Had one trip by physio for stairs no exercises given only a booklet!
