"Very ignorant and inhuman staff"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

One of my family members was admitted to ward 407 after surgery, I can't believe how rude and abrupt and out of place the staff make you feel. It's like they don't want to do their job, at first I thought it maybe one or two staff members but after realising nearly all the staff didn't care at all about what family members were concerned about. The staff would just give you abrupt answers and dead end answers to the most simplest questions you ask them. I don't even know why out contribution to the tax payers money is even getting spent on unhelpful and arrogant staff at this hospital. If they don't like their job then quit why work there and make the patients feel even worse then what they are going through. Every staff member before getting recruited must have sent their CVs in and claimed they had the passion for this job that's why they wanted it but let me tell you they are the worst people to communicate to. The staff and consultant that I spoke to always shrug every concern of. It's like when you are talking to the staff even the head nurses it's like your talking to a brick wall and then if you do get an answer back to your question that you ask it's gonna be an answer that going to take you around in circles it's like your talking to abrupt people with no consideration or feelings towards another person. Honestly I am not to write reviews because I can't be bothered to waste time but let me tell you it's the worst place to be.
