About: Hull Royal Infirmary

(as the patient),

What I liked

I was admitted to Ward 6 at the HRI as an emergency at midnight on the Sunday 27 th April 2008.

I was made comfortable as I had acute abdominal pain. I had already had an x ray whilst in A & E.

The ward's medical team came to see me at 9am and recommended a CT scan.

I was taken for the scan at 11 am.

By 2:15pm in the afternoon, I was seen by one of the surgeons.

At 3:15pm, I was taken for sugery on the third floor.

I was back in the ward by 7:15pm.

I cannot praise to highly, the treatment and care I received over the following 8 days.

All of the staff were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. I was even provided with razor blades and shaving cream as I had left them in my haste to get to hospital.

I was discharged on the 5th May 2008.

Every member of staff connected with Ward 6 were dedicated, true professionals.

What could be improved

My only minor complaint, was the level of noise at certain times. Some of the visitors could have been much quieter. I don't think some of them realised that there were some very poorly patients in various parts of the ward.

Perhaps a sign informing visitors to be quiet at all times would be helpful.
