I went in 30th November for a 2nd Knee replacement with a surgeon who was superb and theatre staff also ! The surgeon said i could go home the next day on their ward round .but physio and medical staff told me no .So Sat came and said i would be discharged as soon as i got my meds was ready and packed at 1pm by 5pm my meds had not come from pharmacy then nurse asked me if i had an xray and bloods done! No i said they looked agast (should have been done the day before a staff member should have had it done) so they had to book an emergancy xray,Eeventually i had it done at 7pm still had no meds from pharmacy they are inept. So i had leave without them the nurse did say it was the blind leading the blind .We had to get my son to go back for them next day and we live in Halifax ! My anxiety is bad anyway but the whole process was very distressing fo me and my wife.I shall never use the BRI again and stick to halifax this is just a short complaint there was more !
