West Suffolk Hospital


On the whole-good

It would have been 5 stars but there have been 2 issues. 1) inconsistent or lack of information. This has been from the doctors not nurse. 2) My wife is woken during the night for bloods to be taken. Each night she asks for the bloods to be taken from the 'line' which is in her arm. Each night they decline and try to take blood from her other arm which is not in good shape. After considerable time and discomfort they eventually take the blood from the installed link-which is what she asks for to begin with!
