Short version: The hospital is not safe, the treat...

Short version: The hospital is not safe, the treatment is lacking and people are not respected.

Long version: My Grandma has been to hospital several times over the last few months with a clear problem that Doctors will not solve. Inevitably, she will have to phone an ambulance for similar symptoms (heart problems, unable to breathe), and she will get a bed for a week. Then she will be sent home. Repeat ad infinitum. They do not view records/history, continue to focus on things that do not help and have been proven not to help, lie about scheduling appoitments with other departments, are generally rude and dismissive. My Gran was shouted at in the hospital by a doctor who says he doesn't want to be there all day. Even the nurses agreed a complaint was necessary.

This isn't a hotel. If they deal with patients thoroughly they wouldn't have to keep coming back with the same symptoms only for doctors to ignore them. If doctors did their job properly, even a little bit, things would be fine but they manage to fail even the lowest bar set. Negligent is the only description for it.

The hospital is also unsafe for patients, especially elderly and vulnerable. Drug dealers are allowed to freely roam the hospital as well as outside. There have been several thefts on the ward. These people have been incredibly threatening towards not just staff but patients also. One of them stole a kindle off of a 90 year old lady with no family to sell for drugs. My Grandmother's phone was stolen.

Security don't care. The nurses don't care. The hospital itself does not care about patient safety or wellbeing.

The Doctors certainly don't care, they are barely present and refuse to ever listen to the patient. Normally, I would argue this is the right course of action as they are the experts however they have been told time and time again about my Grandma's medical history/reactions to medication but due to their negligence it resulted in a worsened health for my Grandmother which almost resulted in death several times. Definite negligent behaviour.

The only reason I give this review 2 stars is that I don't tend to give credence to 1 star reviews and the nurses have been nice to my Grandma whilst she has been there.
Something is clearly very wrong with this hospital that this rude, negligent and dismissive behaviour from doctors as well as drug dealers threatening patients on the premises is allowed to thrive.

Go somewhere else, your safety and health are of no concern here.
