"staff and care"

About: University Hospital (Coventry)

I reported the care a few years ago when i had to stay 3 days in observation ward. the way I and the other older women in there were treated was a disgrace. Food was dispicable. I never ate for three days I wasnt told anything and found that i waited 3 days for a lung scan for no reason as it could have been done sooner. I have recently attended for a accident with my knee.Told it wasnt broken although i had an exray this was april. I found out after seeing three different doctors in the trauma/knee clinic and an MRI scan that i did break it.this was a week ago. I went for another xray and the woman in there placed here fingers on the bone that had been broken and i touch her hand told her not too. She reported to the other woman in there i had touched her hand. Its perthetic. Your safety procedures are ridiculus. I have been a security guard for 15 years and know that assault does happen in hospitals but that was ridiculus. parthetic infact. I have not been back to physio and if i need any I will go to see someone privately. I have looked into paying to get all my records and will proceed to. I have a brilliant GP. and you let the NHS down. you hospital has grown too big and obviously the arays arent looked at properly.
