Review of Regional Public Health

Go to this place at YOUR OWN RISK especially after hours. Recently we had to go to hospital at night time as labour started and had a cesarean but during the whole process was not explained the risks and benefits of each type of procedure as the planned mode regional anaesthetic wasn't able to be administered. Was on the operating table shaking and shivering in pain while the spinal anaesthetic was tried mutiple times without success and then opted for a general anaesthetic. No one discussed or explained risks and benefits and just carried on. In the end had major complications after the surgery as well which meant wasn't able to walk. Only positive was the midwives were nice and helpful. Wellington Hospital would have been a better option.
