Extremely high water pressure

Posted By alphabb13

"Extremely high water pressure"

About: Derriford Hospital / Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery

(as the patient),

My operation was in June and for two weeks I haven't been able to get up and about. But with all my canular etc now removed I thought I'd try to have a soothing shower and that is my issue.

The water pressure is extremely high, you cant tolerate standing in the spray, it hurts. I would be proud to own a jet washer with such pressure.

Please could maintenance adjust the water pressure it is unbearable. 

This is not a moan but a practical request.  My care has been exemplary,  your staff are great and very caring. Thankyou
