"traumatised for life"

About: Horton General Hospital

i have never felt so much of an inconvinience in my life.

After having my son via em csec i was told i was not allowed to see him. i fought for hours, all whilst on morphine to see me son, eventually they obliged but begrudgingly.

i was told he was brain damaged, with no explaination why. - he is not.

after my son was taken to oxford i was told to 'stop moaning and get some sleep then i can drive myself to the JR in the morning.' - After an emergency C section??

the list is never ending, i cannot bring myself to divulge more details because it hurts me too much but i have made conscious efforts to avoid this hospital.

on one occaision my 2 year old son was taken in via ambulance after a severe breathing difficulty. on arrival i was privy to the head nurse shout at the paramedic that 'You know we have no paediatric beds here!!" which i have to say gave me great enthusiasm -Not

just time after time after time i have dealt with 'cliquey staff', eye rolling, huffing and puffing, just generally feeling like an pain in the neck to them.

such a shame to say this but-knock it down. if rather travel 30 minutes to the JR that have my health risked at this hospital
