"Admitted Ward 2B for ACDF & Plates"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

Anything else?

Our main concern was cleanliness of areas, we raised this with staff, staff on Ward 2B were very good, it was on my day before discharge, I was told not asked, that I was being moved to Ward 4 within minutes I was on my way. I was not happy with this. When I arrived on Ward 4 I felt like I was just a number, no interaction with staff, other than when it was drug time. On my discharge day was an utter nightmare, after going through my trauma with my major operation, I was put through even more, I was told that I would be discharged around 2.30 pm, from that time no staff kept me informed, I had to keep going to them, and the Sister in charge was very abrupt, I didn't get final dishcharge until 5.30 pm, she was not helpful at all, I was not given the correct meds, I was in chronic pain and just wanted to get home. She said that if i was to change them she didn't know how long it would take, so I just took what was there and left, she was not sympathetic to my situation, I felt like she should not have been in the care profession. I just took my meds and left, with no hope things go well for you, or nothing not even a goodbye from her. Ward 2B staff were very caring and looked after me well. It was when I was transferred to Ward 4 that I was very distressed about the situation.
