Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

Had colonoscopy and still haven’t had results of biopsies taken ( 1 May) still awaiting for an appointment for colorectal surgery. I’m also waiting to hear from my prostate surgeon about lower abdomen weakness. I’m still waiting to hear from urology about having 6 monthly PSA tests. After 2 years of blood tests I’ve been moved back to yearly. NHS guidelines say I should remain on 6 monthly tests for another 3 years.

They said at a follow up haematology appointment that I could have called them as they had said previously because of the stem cell treatment that I would eventually get shingles and so I could have gone direct to them for help when I did get shingles. Which would have been good, but I didn't know. Excellent treatment but communication wasn't as clear.

I go every month as I have had eye infections. My vision has slightly improved.

The care was good and they got me back to health after having a stroke for the second time.

I was transferred to QE for surgery and had a tube in my head to remove the block/bleed. I was then put in an induced coma and came around about 3 to 4 days after being on life support. I was then in for 6 weeks and then transferred.

They did what they could but messed me up a bit.

I was sent with my 5 year old from the GP to A&E. They were concerned with his marks and breathing so they said it would be best to go to the Children's. They were good to check him.

They're alright, they're fine. The medication is ready when I go in to collect it.

Neurology are a nightmare. I had to phone the secretary and ask for the prescription for epilepsy from now on. They had to sort it with another consultant to get it prescribed and then they now send the requests to the pharmacy at the hospital which means I have to go there every month now to get my medication.

I got kept in as I went to A&E with an enormous cyst under my breast. I couldn't eat anything all day and night as they were decision to operate or not which is my only criticism but they looked after me well and I had the operation the next day.
