Very professional staff
I was recently admitted and spent four days in the local hospital due to cholecystitis. Personally I felt I was treated well in all respects. However I was put on a small ward with at the most 4 beds occupied by elderly women (including myself). I just felt that the nurses were run ragged, particularly by two of the patients with mental health issues who were particularly noisy, shouting and demanding almost constant attention. I can only commend the nursing staff for their patience over what were some very hot and uncomfortable days and nights. Fortunately I am usually very fit and was able to look after myself despite the discomfort I was experiencing but I did lose my cool on one night when I resorted to shouting back at one of these patients who appeared then to realise she wasn't the only one on the ward! Even the nurses had occasion to reprimand her. They were strict and to the point with her but very professional at all times.
