"Terrible Experience on A12 Ward."

I Was admitted for 10 days and just felt like, us as the patients were a huge inconvenience. If a patient buzzed for assistance from a nurse you were ignored and could be left waiting for unto 20 minuets. So, if your in real need of help, (fighting for breath for example) you'll be dead before they get there. For Patients that were bed bound and needed help going to the toilet, this is just not acceptable. There was a definite lack of enthusiasm from the night staff, day staff were better but if you needed help getting washed/showered etc you were easily forgotten. I had no after care advice after suffering acute pancreatitis, it was only after going on the NHS website that I found the foods that I needed to avoid. I however do not hold the staff completely responsible for this poor care giving, it's the strain that's on the NHS.
