"care on 14, 44 and Cardiology Suite"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

I visited A&E on Bank Holiday Monday with chest pains, I finally saw a Doctor 2 hours after initial attendance. I was admitted to Ward 14, nice staff, However, one nurse said to another who says he's got Angina. I left the Ward and was moved to Ward 44, I found the staff brilliant, over worked and under staffed at night. I was told you must tell us when you have pain, not just lie in agony. I said I did not want to be trouble? I went to the Cardiology Labs on Friday, the Staff was brilliant, However the test shows the problem cannot be fixed. I returned to Ward 44, one of the staff said I thought you were going home and did not appear to believe the results. I found the staff brilliant and caring, I also found that two members of staff let the rest down.
