NHS disappointment

Hi, I no what you mean, waited an hour once in waiting toom, told they didn't have a chair, I said OK I'll go home the then, I was rushed through, and there were a couple of empty seats. A few where messing about laughing and joking, one said just come your having a bad day doesn't mean we have to. I said I was having a good day till I came here now can we get on with this funny girl. Funny I never saw her again. Its hard for them at times and 1 or 2 should remember it's hard for us to. xx

I understand totally I have even phoned the pharmacy myself from my mobile because the nurses cannot be bothered to 

This happens a lot unfortunately, and it is the pharmacy that seems to be the issue. The staff really do have their hands tied as far as pharmacy is concerned.  

hiya chelle

thank you for your response. I appreciate the pharmacy are the biggest part to blame, however my point is the ward staff specifically the senior ward staff have a responsibility to the patients, when the patient ensures the turn up on time for their appointment then the senior staff on the ward to lead by example and at the very least call the pharmacy to chase the meds for the patient, I can assure you that was not done this morning at my appointment and I wasn’t the only patient waiting there was 8 of us and nothing was being done by any of the staff to get the meds to the ward. In my world its called team work, you don’t pass the book.

I can’t support anyone in a professional environment not doing there job and I won’t apologise for that, given that I’m treatable not curable, I don’t have time to waste sitting in a hospital waiting for meds. They should try putting themselves in my shoes, I expect they would have something to say.

Have a good evening

Nice one!  Indeed, what were they doing when they should have been administering treatment to all the patients in the waiting room, had the drugs arrived on time?  Luckily I've not had this one.  I keep getting the graveyard shift at 3pm because I only take 2.5 hours with no complications.  

I’ve sat in oncology for 8 hours before waiting to see my oncologist. Nothing you can do about it, it is what it is x 

Well done Donna, you tell 'em girl. I have a cracker of a story here, I had forgotten about it until I read your post.

Last year I was rushed into hospital with sepsis and I was put in a ward which was a shambles. Through the night a nurse woke me as she was shouting at a poor man in my bay who had dementia. Then later the same nurse was yelling at a female patient who had wet herself before she reached the toilet. 

The next day a man was brought in with a waterworks problem. He complained about a nurse who was rude to him. That led to the nursing staff turning their backs on him so what did he do? He phoned 999 and said he needed urgent treatment. Where are you asked the voice on the end of the phone? ***** Hospital, he replied. Wow, talk about getting their backsides kicked! 

Solved his problems with the staff!
