"The care before my surgery was ..."

About: North Manchester General Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

The care before my surgery was great i was told what would be happening and i felt i was in good hands.

What could be improved

The care and information after the surgery. I was on g2. i was woken at 5.15 in the morning so they could change my bed for the next intake.nobody explained about how the operation went or about any after care i may or may not need. i was just told to go home by 7am. when i got home i realised they had not given me a discherge note, but when i went to take my painkillers it was in there.no-one told me they just left the tablets on my table in a bag. I am writing this confused and upset. it would have helped to have been given some information i don't even know what stitches i have in my wounds.You may ask why i didn't ask, i don't know maybe i was still groggy from the operation. or in shock after being thrown out so early.

Anything else?

i would recommend the hospital, but don,t be suprised if your on a conveyor belt, your just another one of many that needs there attention and there is not enough to go around.
