"Great staff"

About: Lincoln County Hospital

I spent 18 hours in a&e but I was treated within 5 hours. The problem is not with the hospital. The problem is with the stupidity of the public.if you are well enough to take a large pizza with you to eat while waiting you can't be that Ill .also time wasters who have drunk to much alcohol and then after taking valuable doctors time go home.if these selfish morons were sorted and sent to a place to sober up the poor hard pressed doctors and nurses could do their jobs.Dont blame the hospital take a long look at yourself and ask do I really need to there.After being admitted into a ward again the selfish loutish behaviour of some of these people who make everyone's life more difficult

I would suggest better communication from staff would help for example on my day of discharge the Consulant didn't have the common decency to speak to me.i was discharged with no explanation or letter I had to visit my own gp to find out I need further treatment Do you really think this is acceptable.Also I found because I'm older I was there was a assumption that I was not capable of making decisions which I found extremely insulting!,,,,

Also my last concern was the standard of cleaning again this needs attention.I don't think the all the cuts that our government have helped there But the country has voted for more of the same so who is to blame?

Thankyou for posting your comments regarding your visit to Lincoln A&E.

Communication is something we are working had on to improve and I will feed your comments back to the Consultant team

I can only apologise if you felt anyone felt you couldn't make decisions, we certainly do not automatically believe older patients lack that ability and in fact, the majority of our patients are seniors.

I hope you have made a full recovery.
