Not going into detail of what was wrong with me, but maaaan I feel the nurses are really ignorant. I feel they think of patients as numbers and that's it.
In excruciating pain and ask them for help to which I got a "Suffer it" I had to wait 5 hours for pain relief at some point aswell.. They told me they can't help because its busy then you look out the door and the nurses are drinking coffee and tea and eating cake..
When you go to a hospital you go to get better not sit there in agony in an isolated environment which isn't your home, You would think the attitudes of women or men in that line of work would have caring hearts - Erm NOPE! I feel they just don't care.
Also the parts of the hospital I saw were filthy I moved to a room and the bum washer was full of dirty nappies.. Not exactly pleasant when you had been throwing up for about 4 days.
Anyway the nurses at Hairmyers appeared bitter and angry.
"Not a pleasant experience"
