Poor experience I was in for a day procedure and the nurse that escorted me from reception to ward bed 6th Floor then finished her shift. I was in room for about 2 hours and no one came near me or asked who I was. Eventually the Anaethist rocked up interviewed me said Op room ready in half an hour. About 20 minutes later an orderly came in to take me to theatre. Then the nurse rocks up found a gown for me to put on and hurredly did my obs and asked the orderly to put my compression socks on which he struggled to do. Then wheeled to op room where anaethist reminded the nurse to get the next patient prepped! I was delayed from leaving recovery as nurse was on her break. Taken back to room on ward and I discovered the oxygen mask had taken several pieces of skin off my face not treated so I cleaned off the blood. They wanted to keep me for 4 hours but no way I wanted out so discharged my self. Their pharmacy had closed so we stopped at a chemist who refused to fill my script as the anaethist used someone else's pad and the prescriber number wasn't hers. All in all a poor caring or professional standard displayed. Perhaps it's an age thing like the previous reviewer's elderly parents I too am a little gray haired man who no-one is concerned with!
