Information about hospital medication

"Information about hospital medication"

About: Leicester General Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

When my partner was having her baby at leicester general before I was there she was getting given tablets like smarties they said there was 2 antibiotics and different pain killers not at any time have I or my partner or my family ever been provided with information about what tablet I'm getting no information about the benefits and side effects when I challenged a member of hospital staff about this I was told that my partner should of asked for it my reply was well when you go to a pharmacist to get tablets or even a general shop tablet information is provided and you don't have to ask so why oh why should a hospital be any different it's not just they don't provide the leaflet about medication they don't even speak to you about it I believe there needs to be real change within all hospitals.
