i suffer from severe c.o.p.d. (chronic chest disease) & was taken into A&E where after a short while was told i could go home.
after i told them i was not well enough to they addmited me to ward 22, where i was not impressed with the level of care to that i used to get on the chest ward.
medication was never on time, 1.1/2 hours late on 1 occasion, i was sent home after 5 days and am still not right, i just think that they send you home too soon.
the meals are very small but ok for a child. the car parking is terrible. when i attend out patients i can never find a spare wheelchair to go to the respiritory clinic which is a long walk for people with breathing problems to start with.
