"Inpatient care"

I was very recently an in patient at Armadale hospital.

During my first few days I was given a CT scan which amongst other problems, revealed a kidney stone between my kidney and my bladder.

I already had an appointment booked with the Continence Nurse regarding a void test after a procedure to remove bladder stones at another hospital some three to four weeks prior . 

I received a personal phone call , whilst still an in patient , from a Continence Nurse , saying that they would present in the Ward to chat.

What happened next was something I can never forget .

The nurse said they, without me knowing , had been in touch by phone with another hospital's Urology. OK fine. I then asked them what was being done with regard to the stone discovered on the CT scan three days before this conversation.

Astonishingly they said that stone was gone !!

I asked where it went . They said I must have passed it. Through a Catheter ??

I asked how they knew it was gone as I had not been given another CT scan. They said Urology at the other hospital told them it was gone. I asked how they knew that.

It seemed the nurse completely ignored my question and proceeded to lecture me on the procedure for care of Catheters and left the room.

Unacceptable attitude and rude, in my opinion. I would prefer to go to the ED with my urological problems in future.

Other than that nonsensical incident I was very impressed with all the staff especially catering , who produced some amazing "fat free" meals. Thank you all.
