In Patient Treatment

"In Patient Treatment"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Accident & emergency Forth Valley Royal Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

Was told by my GP that I required admission to hospital for treatment. Still took 3. 5hrs on arrival before I was on a ward as I was told I had to go through A&E for admission.

Admitted for I/V antibiotics having developed cellulitis.

Excellent nursing care.

Ward and facilities very good.

Food choice lmited and poor e. g. supposed hot food pretty cool / was informed that fruit choice limited to apples. I was only in for 3 days but this could cause recovery problems for patients in for a prolonged period.
