Arrived at hospital at 12.15 for minor surgery for carpal tunnel, After being shown my room and being assessed I’ve been left to wait for over 5hrs with no communication from ward nurses or even asked if I would like a drink. After my partner seeks out a nurse I was then told that my operation will be between 5 and 6 o’clock, not the answer I was expecting to get from private health care. This has left with no confidence in the st edmunds hospital, there seems to be little or no time structure for the day ahead as all patients are admitted at 12.15, People with medical conditions are prioritised first leaving people with no medical history to the bottom of the list, This whole experience has heightened my anxiety leaving me feeling that I can not trust health care whether, private or nhs. The main reason for me going private was because I thought ild get a better experience this is clearly not the case.
