"Care given at the Pilgrim hospital Boston"

I had the misfortune to be taken ill. l was taken to Skegness A&E where the care given was brilliant. It was decided that l needed to be taken to the Pilgrim hospital at Boston, on arrival l was expected and was taken straight to a single room on a ward. I thought this is great treatment. Then the wheels fell off the wagon.

I was nil by mouth as l may have needed surgery, it was decided l needed fluids and was hooked up to a saline drip. I some hours later looked at the drip and the bag appeared to be at the same fill level, not surprising really as it had not been turned On!

In the morning I'm moved to another ward given some more painkillers at long last. Eventually l get an x-ray, nothing untoward found and l can go.

They tell me that the would rather me stay so they can find out where the pain is coming from. My blood pressure until I'd been given morphine and other pain meds at Skegness, had been in excess of 210 over 100 and something.

I tell them I'd rather go home. Guess what, the pharmacy is closed  so l can only have the basics which they have on the ward. I felt that some  of the staff had a lack of care attitude (l was still in the street clothes I'd arrived in, slept! in, including socks, no towel, flannel or the offer of a wash) One or two of the nursing were brilliant,  to understand what was being said to me was mostly impossible.

I also managed to pick up a sickness bug in the short time l was there and l was never shown where the toilets or washing facilities were. And by the way, you have to order your meals TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE
