So far my experiences of this hospital are less than desirable. My mother was taken in for what seemed like dehydration (she has M.S). She was subsequently transferred to ward 9 of the hospital (This was last year). It was over a weekend. We noticed that her chart was missing medication and queried it to be told they had withdrawn all of her pain meds. Then we found out that she hadn't been given medication when she was supposed to. After querying this, the staff hid her chart so I couldn't look at it, which I was entitled to be a court appointed guardian. Then we found out that they weren't feeding her. When I brought this one up they simply said that they'd put it down infront of her and she hadn't eaten or when the lass came round with food she refused. She has full blown dementia and requires prompting and someone to actually help her eat. It got to the point that my father and I blew a gasket and started bringing food in ourselves to which the nurses protested but firmly they were told that if they weren't going to feed her, we bloody well would!

Hospital is a disgrace.
