My initial care was excellent from both nursing and medical staff while being monitored and treated in A &E and CAU. However being readmitted 3 days later for further monitoring on the advice of the Doctor who was very caring I was transferred to "board" in a surgical ward B31. Once on the ward I was not spoken to or indeed looked at, at any time by the nurse in charge of my area, only given a cup of tea by a pleasant student nurse. So none of my prescribed monitoring or tests took place! A total waste of my time and the doctor's valuable time! I am normally a healthy person but was very unwell and extremely scared during this time but got no comfort or care from nursing staff I saw in ward B31. I am a retired nurse and I know how I would have treated my patients and it would not have been the way I was treated in ward B31!! The Doctor and the staff of CAU were wonderful!!!!
