Came in today, they were quite busy due to shepton hospital x-ray machine being down but I don’t think that’s an excuse for how people were being treated. The receptionist had no manners whatsoever and just rude. As soon as I walked in I was handed a form and told to fill it in, there was no other communication. Both me and my mother in law though it was odd. When I went in to see the nurse she cut the bandage off me and pressed down in a few areas and sent me to x-ray. The nurse that put my splint on afterwards had absolutely no idea what she was doing and took her serveral attempts to put it on. They told me I was fit to go back to work even though I can’t move my hand at all and I’m a waitress. Patients were going in and within minutes they were sent back out again. It was as if there were compeating to see who could get rid of a patient that fastest. Over all everyone’s attitudes stunk and I won’t ever go back again. I’d rather sit for hours waiting at Yeovil.
"Awful experience"
