I would like to say that I feel our experience at the hospital was disgusting.
They misdiagnosed my spouse. I believe they pushed a feeding tube back in that was still on and didn’t check to see if it went in the right place. The staff we dealt with refused to take my spouse to the toilet at night. We were told they don’t do that at night. I had to do it.
I believe there were blocked up cannulas. Couldn’t get a cannula in - I believe they tried 12 times till I said enough. The staff looking after my spouse put them in a ward with two people.
My spouse had to be lifted with a standing machine and the bed they were in was next to a wall so we couldn’t get them out. The staff looking after my spouse took them to the toilet with their pants down in front of everyone.
I could go on but think I would be here forever.
Apart from a select few, in my opinion, that hospital is s*** and the nurses we had contact with, especially at night, were lazy and the doctors who cared for my spouse didn't know what they are talking about.
My spouse had MND and we were told the day before they passed away. In my opinion, staff should wake up to themselves self instead of worrying about where you want to put patients how about you actually care for them.
