"Bed transfer"

About: Gloucestershire Royal Hospital / Accident and emergency

I was treated exceptionally well except that on the last night of my stay I was arbitrarily transferred to another ward. It was a disturbing experience for an 89 year old. I arrived in the strokes ward! As it happens I was treated very kindly and considerately there but had an angina attack which I blame on the rather callous manner in which I was transferred. I was never told why I was being transferred . Surely this needs not to happen. A late night switch from a heart ward to a strokes ward It soured my hospital experience
