I won't recount the fill details here, but suffice to say that no one believed I was in labour and said I was 'too polite' to be. I was left to sit on a chair for 4 hours after my son was born as the 'paperwork needed doing', my bed wasn't changed for the whole stay, I was reprimanded for asking for maternity pads for bleeding, a paediatrician put a dirty nappy back on my baby and damaged his cord stump and I practically had to beg to be discharged. A good majority of the staff I encountered were rude. I would never visit this hospital again and even in case of serious injury would rather risk increased travel time and go elsewhere.
