Terrible service not being told anything

Story from nhs.uk

"Terrible service not being told anything"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

Really poor service nobody can tell me what is going on and what the plan going forward is. I was told to be nil by mouth from midnight at 7am they brought me breakfast and tea I said I was nil by mouth only to be corrected and told to eat. After starting to eat a different nurse came in and questioned why I was eating I should be nil by mouth. I asked what the plan am I having surgery and was told he didn't know and he laughed. Nobody can tell me what's going on they asked me do you want to be nil by mouth. Disgraceful need to log a formal complaint still here and I know as much as when I walked into a&e last night
