"Queen Elizabeth Hospital - Ward 302 - Patient Care"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

After a good experience in the A and E section with some prompt professional diagnosis. The experience was left rather sour after some really poor impolite nurses with bad bedside manners. One nurse on night duty was good but the other nurses banging around in the night being heavy handed banging things down was not appreciated as already missed one weeks sleep. Not offered meals when I was hungry, had to chase them for food. When I asked for dressing to be changed the nurse was heavy handed and did not deal with the required politeness or patient care expected perhaps making my problem worse, Now I have to go to the doctors to get this checked out in case it is made worse. Nurses are meant to listen when I have problems not avoid them and tell lies like there are no doctors available. One of the staff broke the blood pressure monitor on my arm which hurt also because they forgot to put the monitor in the finger. Most of the problems were made by the staff who had bad attitudes and false face. As I said before one made my wound worse and now I have to get this checked out again at the doctors for security and piece of mind. The patient needs to come first...
