My husband went for an iron transfusion and was under the impression that it would take around 30 minutes according to the leaflet he was given. We had friends that had dropped us off, and they got so concerned that we were longer than we said we would be, that they came into the hospital reception to check everything was okay.
The infusion actually took an hour and we then had to wait for 30 minutes after to check everything was okay. With the tests before the infusion, we were there for 2 hours in total.
The care was very good, professional, and very friendly. Our issue is more that the information on the leaflet is confusing with the timings it gives. It is twice the length of the time they state.
