I was not given a choice of Spire, Nuffield or Southmead as per MHS Choices but was just given Southmead.
I found out that this was because I have MS (I am mobile and normal weight) and it was thought that I would be in longer. In fact, I was offered discharge a day early.
I was put in a 4 bed ward despite my mother having died on my op. day (TKR). I was moved to a room after complaining.
I did not have adequate pain relief and was told on discharge that I was entitled to twice as much.
I nursed for 40 years and now 10 months later find that I probably need a knee revision owing to misalignment. Not happy!
