My hospital experience hasn't been one bit positive. I don't feel I get the treatment that I need. I have talked to the doctors and the nurses and I feel they just don't listen. The only way at this stage I feel I can get any help is if I contact an MLA but that will be very hard for me to do as I just don't have the time as I'm raising three young children. From my experience patient communication is poor and I'm glad I am an English speaker as I can't imagine what the experience would be like if I didn't have the ability to communicate in English.
On numerous occasions I feel staff have tried to blag me off. I don't feel listened to at all and I feel my opinion is not valued. More funding in this hospital is very much needed. Although don't get me wrong the nurses are very pleasant, but I dont feel listened to by the doctors and the surgeons, I feel they will listen to me when I ask to go private. In my opinion the hospital is understaffed.
