"Overstretched , but lovely and helpful staff"

The consultant and nurse were both very lovely and helpful. However the department was majorly stretched and understaffed. I needed the toilet and there were no nurses available so the consultant had to fetch me a bedpan which my mum then helped me with (the consultant did offer, which he shouldn't have had to. However my mum was a nurse and is still a qualified midwife so she was able to help) they were also understaffed on porters which meant long waiting times getting to my X-ray and CT scans which again was putting a significant amount of pressure on the department.
