"Absolutely shocking, a sham of health care, feel..."

About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

What I liked

I was referred by my gp with a problem which I had for 3 months, which in turn has led to other complications.

This issue was not addressed just the complications treated. No seemed to know I was there, and was not checked on all afternoon until my husband queried what was happening. One day at 7pm.

They carried out a test I did not need and now have to go back as an outpatient for the tests I desperately need.

One nurse even told me to get referred to new cross hospital as they are better.

I am disgusted with the level of care given and the lack of basics, that they do not even know why people have been referred by their GP's. And on my discharge letter they have put my diagnoses down as not what I have.

What could be improved

Everything

Anything else?

Gob smacked this is what my taxes pay for, shall never return if given the chance of another hospital. If I ever get seriously I'll may move to better pct area, it was that bad.
