Admitted on a Friday in June with septic kidney stones. Rushed into surgery had 2 stints in left side kidneys. Come out of recovery with septic shock so spent 2 days in recovery with amazing nurses and brilliant treatment until I was moved on the Sunday to 1 west.
Most of the staff were nice. The second night on ward night nurse never used gloves to change my iv drips or canula. I found this shocking and scary as I was recovering from sepsis and am also high risk as I am auto immune. I did let the ward nurse know the next day and she apologise but it wasn't her fault for other nurses poor hygiene.
Also 1 day my food menus were never took after me telling the ward helpers. So 1 day I never received any lunch or dinner. They gave me tea and toast instead. Which for me I fear for people who can't talk or with dementia. This is shocking. But the worst was the ward hygiene.
The place was disgusting. 8 days in and the bathroom has been cleaned 3 times. Once I had to ask as their was poo all over the toilet seat and sink. Then the next day the same thing only this time the toilet is blocked. It was absolutely disgusting. Even at home I wipe round my toilet and sink daily. I am completely shocked by this. And think more needs to be done.
