On the 30/05/2018 I was admitted for a operation to drain my Anul fistula. The ward was clean. The ward is mixed male and female. I was placed next to a man who had surgery, granted the curtain was closed but I am aware that when I turned the blankets exposed me somewhat and I was under some sedation so my inhibitions where down. I feel I should have been placed in a private room.
My needs where taken care of but I got the impression the nurses where not impressed that I was given a spinal block which meant as far as they where concerned I was bed blocking. General anaesthetic makes me very sick and takes me longer to recover from , whereas spinal block does not. The staff could not get me away quick enough. I had just had surgery I was unwell. I knew the staff wanted me to leave so much so i even attempted to walk and get up out of bed. I failed but thankfully I did not fall I fell onto my face on the bed. So no injuries. All in all i felt like i was a burden.
