"A short admission but can't fault the ward"

I was taken to Harvey ward from Queens med A and E as they had drained my bladder with a catheter as I couldn't pass urine due to prostate problems. I was admitted and examined by a doctor who confirmed the problem put me on a drip for fluids and put me down for 2 hourly observations.

I was examined by a registrar later who confirmed the diagnosis and treatment then saw the consultant on ward rounds the following morning who confirmed that TURP was appropriate. As my condition had stabilised I was discharged with the catheter in place and given medication till the op can be done.

The only criticism is that it took the pharmacy 4 hours to get my discharge medicine to the ward which isn't under the control of the ward staff

Although I was only in for a short time I was very impressed with both the attitude and care of the staff who were all cheerful and very polite even the ancillary staff giving out the meals. I have to go back for the op hopefully in the near future and am happy to do so.
