From a patient In Lundy ward who was treated with a lack of professional care from members of nursing staff in that ward One Nurse who thought they were going to use the Quote” Do as is say not as I do” proofed to me that there are bad apples In the NHS and should and they disposed of rapidly faster than natural decay this particular personal incident happened to me a few weeks ago And I went through excruciating pain that could only be described by someone who had the same urgent medical treatment My experience with A&E was beyond reproach Doctors /nurses/HCA? Everone,………..they all knew the pain I was going through 6 different size catheters fitted in 3 days they seemed to think it was a joke and I was very sensitive in that area 42 very painful spams in one Night,my wife slept in the chair as well as noting the 42 spasms in one night And also being told I have bladder cancer Patient perception was an eye opener, i.e. .HCA assistants whom seem to think that bladder spasms only appear when they walk past the Patients ward, HCA assistants who can’t use a portable bladder scanner, then askes the second HCA to try and use it as I am only guessing Reply Quote “I haven’t been trained yet” they had to call for a doctor.
