"This hospital is a nightmare."

About: Kettering General Hospital / Accident and emergency

i Can’t even say I would go there in an emergency because even that nearly cost me my life.

They refused to do a ct scan because( I was told there doing to many and have been told to cut back they refused to see me and refused to do a scan that nearly cost me my life.

The head nurse and a junior Doctor we’re arguing in the hall for everyone to hear if I should be admitted.

I was admired another time and three days later we’re still lying on the same pjs the ambulance cut down each side.

Another time I watched two people who where giving out the meals watch an earlderly lady struggle with her food and we’re laughing watching her struggle and only helped once it was cold.

Another nurse got very angry with an elderly lady because she kept asking for the loo.

The nurse put her on the loo and after shouting at her, left her there crying.

At the end of my bed we’re two bins an elderly lady had messed herself and the nurse changed her putting the very stinky nappy in the bin at the end of my bed followed by my lunch being bought in to

Two minutes later.

Was vile.

I was being admitted late one evening wasn’t offered a gown and turn all the lights off leaving me sitting there while I was waiting for a consultant and refused to give me my medication that I can’t miss and had to leave and go home to get it.

My last admittion was in the high dependency unit I was moved from a bay into a room no one realised I were there not once in the three days did they make or change the bed.

Not once was it cleaned and I was never offered anything in all the time to help me wash so did any elderly person get help to wash I was lucky to be able to do it myself.

The nurse came in and sneezed all over me.

After the last stay I got very poorly after I left with a virus.

Dear Conroy 1965

This is a disappointing read and I'd like to explore the issues you have raised in more detail. Please could you contact the PALS department via PALS@kgh.nhs.uk so we could possibly meet and go through each point.

Kind regards

Rebecca Norton - Lead nurse
