About: Selly Oak Hospital (Acute)

(as the patient),

What I liked

did the others who made a comment go to a diffrent hospital to me .dr sent me to hospital,emphasema [no hope for me then so dont go down there]ambulance people know how frighten i am am and help a lot.c2 is where thay took me .they told staff how scared i was,i should have known i am now 61 years i have seen older people being treated there befor..

What could be improved

i was sat in the clinic 2c all night yes all night .they took blood,a porter took me to x-ray and said he had got to take me to the main ward later,that never happend,saw dr he said wait for blood result then we will find me a car to go home ,i was feeling very un well and weak by now .i sat in the chair from then ,the odd person came in i had to ask for drink in the end i had 3 drinks the whole time,they took me in at 7.30.pm .at 4.45am a nurse came in and put down a plastic cup with stuff in.she said drink that ,i had to ask what it was ,she said it was potasium which was low,and you are asking your self why i did not say anythink that night ..well i did try just try talking and was told not to answer back and not to raise my voice ,did i say i had no breath to speak propely let alone shout,she did not want me to ask quetions ..

Anything else?

there are other things like ,the clinic was empty so who was asleep in the bed,with curtains drawn ,and who was in the next room to me...the light was on in the room where i was ....so now no one is about ,when someone put out the main clinic lights out ,i go out and walked to find someone and it was put on then , i am very sorry i can no longer do any more i am done for,by the way i got home at 7.30am...sorry to moan ,i am on home care and will not let any body put me in there again ,there was an old couple in there who went home in the very early hours as well.....thank you for letting me vent i am still upset about it and was ill for weeks after that night ....sorry to bother you ,
