They changed shifts half way through and didnt seem to give each other any sort of handover. The equipment to check my babys heart rate in the water did not work; after giving birth no one came to see me I was just left and when I walked passed the office they were all sat gossiping drinking tea. Concidering having a baby is meant to be a joyous occassion they certainly didnt treat it this way. I think there has been so much said about how nurses are underpaid and over worked thay have created a chip on the shoulders! Lets face it why train to do a job knowing what pay you going to get and then bitch and moan about it, then take it out on your patients
When I had my daughter, I found the midwives to be very efficient but lacking in a bedside manner. I fully understand that to them they must see Gawd knows how many babies, however to me this was a special baby (as I imagine each baby is to the parents!!!) and I was made to feel that I and my baby were just another "batch on the conveyor belt"
Cannot fault their professionalism though.
FANTASTIC....i was very ill 2 years ago, in fact i passed away and the doctors etc fought to save me, thankfully, as u can see...they did lol
....i didnt know anything about it, but my family tell me they worked and worked on me....i will always be gratful to the hospital......
...that said...if my GP had 'come out' to me instead of just guessing which antibiotics i needed, i wouldnt have been so ill....i called her on the monday...when she finally came on the thursday i was on deaths door, and had to have paramedics and the flashing amblulance bit..
e coli septicima btw (not sure on the spelling tho )
BOO ~ sorry, I just wondered why he was asking about the NHS, that's all..just a bit of clarification!
I have had both good and bad experiences with the NHS..mostly bad, but there you go ~ and yes, mostly bad where maternity care is concerned. With regards to other illnesses I have usually diagnosed myself after doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me.
They were very grateful to me as I saved them a lot of work!
However I do have to say that the Doctors I have dealt with have always been far to busy with their medical work to undertake any other business ventures ;o)
