Emergency admission to Coronary Care Unit via A&E by Ambulance from GP surgery. GP, A&E & Ambulance staff marvellous. CCU staff excellent. Advised operation necessary and later told by an unknown member of staff that I was to be transferred to another ward.
No explanation, and it did not happen till 6 am. Operation, then again told I was to be moved to an admissions ward, whilst I waited on X-ray. I refused to be moved and had to push for discharge at 1 am after X-ray happened.
Theatre staff amazing! Behind the scenes infrastructure fractured, shuffling people around to make beds available whilst exposing patients to unnecessary risk of in-house infection including Covid is unacceptable.
"Patient care & support."
