"Bad experience"

About: Rotherham Swallownest Court Inpatient Unit / Sandpiper ward

(as the patient),

- Staff being rough when doing covid test 

- Staff come on shift with a mask on stating they had covid and if I was to get covid I won't be able to go on leave

- Staff in office rather than sit on the ward with patients 

- Losing belongings

- Saying one thing but not adhering to it 

- Not seeing my doctor in 18 days 

- Can't bend fingers due to a broken hand (right hand) and gone off word of mouth from another source that I don't need surgery

- Some staff laughing at patients
