Due to a fall I had while attending the Notting Hill Carnival I ended up having a stay in Homerton Hospital. I had to stay there last year as well and wasn’t impressed at the cleanliness and that I had to stay in a mixed ward. Mixed wards can cause a lot of distress for some elderly patients.
This time it couldn’t have been more different. The single sex ward was cleaned thoroughly every day and, even though my torn ligament caused me a lot of pain, the staff did their best to make me comfortable.
So I’d like to say a big thank you to all the staff and doctors at the Halley Ward. The only down side to this stay was that I now don’t have anything to gripe about. I’m sure I’ll be back on form for next month though.
