Share review of Scunthorpe General Hospital
I was admitted at 18.30 on Wednesday evening. I was not offered anything to eat or drink until breakfast on Thursday. I spent all night on a trolley with a thin blanket. Asked for a pillow several times but never got one. I could walk with assistance and asked the nurse to walk me to the toilet. She said “Use the bottle then I don’t have to take you”. I used the bottle twice later and it was never emptied or taken away despite asking people to do so. The stroke consultant said it was an ENT issue and referred me to them saying a doctor would come and see me. No one came and I was discharged after being told that an ENT outpatient appointment would be made for me. No one ever looked in my ears. My discharge letter was signed by a geriatric dept doctor who had never seen me.
