I have many health problems, I’ve spent a lot of time in Rotherham DGH, Hallamshire, northern general, and Claremont. I’ve just moved to Doncaster for my son career pathway, I now have to use DRI, wouthput any doubt it’s the worst hospital I’ve ever used. What makes it worse is family have had to use it and it seems it’s been like this for thirty years. You send questions to help you improve but obviously nothing happens. I know a few nurses in other hospitals and Doncaster is nicknamed Donny Divert because they don’t like to get busy. I presume it’s this bad because you aren’t getting the finances you need so whoever that person is holding back the cash needs to use A and E and I after experiencing the chaos and apparent lack of training perhaps they will realize DRI is thirty years behind the other hospitals. I had to walk out of A and E a week ago, I’d been bleeding for forty hours and my GP sent me, the staffs behavior was so unprofessional I just went home and hoped for the best. My wife and I have said we will consider driving to rotherham hospital if it’s just a broken bone. I waited 10 hours for an X-ray a couple of months ago, I had a hematoma so huge the nurses and X-ray had to have a double take. So even with these obvious signs of trauma and my attempts to inform the nurses of my medical history which includes hypoadrenalism, 10 hours was the best you could do ??????

Suggested improvements
A minority of staff are rude and poorly trained, this minority however is still a significant number when you consider the environment
