"No choices in the temporary ward at Ipswich Hospital."

About: Ipswich Hospital

(as the patient),

I have been kept in a temporary ward at Ipswich Hospital, so no tv, food choice anything. With regard to the nurses that have attended me, I have had some great nurses and some not so great. I was admitted with an undiagnosed infection after numerous tests days ago I believe that I have not seen a doctor for over 48hrs despite assurances from nurses they have contacted him. I have no idea of my condition or if there is any improvement or anything thats going on at all and yet I am supposedly a private patient....you would think a patient was entitled to some information regarding their care.
