Bit of a mix up

"Bit of a mix up"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

I was given a bed in the old hospital for an injection into my back under x-ray under the care of the pain management team. When myself and a number of other patients arrived we were told that we had to go to the X-ray Dept to have our procedures done. I have to say the staff were amazing and had clearly been put in a difficult position because of a mix up of some sort by someone. Sitting in the waiting room of X-ray for a long time was very uncomfortable and somewhat undignified because there were men and women there in various states of undress. I had expected to be able to rest prior to and after my procedure but instead it was a bit like a cattle pen. The seats in waiting room 5 are so uncomfortable. PS the department is not listed on this review form so I have had to say don't know when in fact I know very well
