I wanna start and mention I am proud of our NHS heroes but I spent a week in the hospital and spent my time back and forth in different areas. I have experienced highs and lows. I will started off my review in reception where everyone in the vast public can hear all your details and your condition in a world where we protect our details(GDPR) , hospital has become a great place to breach your details ! I was in a the waiting area for a short time , I suffer from depression and high levels of anxiety.but I came in for faint spells my son came in with me to support my anxiety and language difficulties. The reception refused to let him in to sit with me until I was seen by the nurse. They were rude and consistently obstructing any form of support. The nurse nurse who spoke to me was very kind and was happy for my son to support me while I get seen by a doctor. The reception were adamant he can’t be their but it seemed now he sit with me. I then seen another lady with her child who had a similar issue but were allowed to stay. I was their for 18 hours from place to place in the a and e, I had not eaten I was told I will get something but nothing came, my son did ask can he bring some food but was told by nurses he won’t be allowed back on site, I needed him to support me with my anxiety so I told him to support me. After 18 hours I was admitted to ward 20. Which I stayed for 7 days. I want to thank all the doctors, nurses , acp, health practitioners, radiographers who helped me in my time of difficulties.
