I want to make it very clear that I have nothing but praise and appreciation for the staff of CCU at Wishaw General Hospital. I was a patient there for 2-3 days recently.
The care was second to none, and I can't thank the staff enough for everything that was done for me. However, I asked to be discharged earlier than expected because I was distressed by the constant loud tv from an adjoining cubicle. I found it impossible to rest because of the noise. I believe that in that particular situation, where beds are separated only by curtains, which cannot contain noise, television sets are unnecessary and intrusive. It might be different in individual rooms, where a door can be closed, but in the curtained cubicles, even earplugs were no use. Again, please be aware I have absolutely no complaints regarding the staff, but I hope I never have to suffer the situation again.
