The staff at the skin/arthritis clinic were always helpful and i started going there with severe psoriasis, months later i am starting to get better from the psoriasis.They also treating me for my arthritis, considering its a goverment hospital they are try to do the best they can. In all honesty _ i am fairly happy.There are days that takes long to get out with meds etc, yet some days not too bad.

Absolutely chaos.

The list can go on forever. After an attempted robbery I landed up here for almost three weeks. I had a completely broken, dislocated and my twisted elbow. Further known as a terrible triad break.

*Took more than 38 hours to get a bed assigned in a ward. Landed up sleeping and waiting in the ER area with nothing but my wits. If I left I was told I would lose any space and wait again when I return.

*Certain nurses treated us like animals with threats and rude behavior. No regard for human life or the job at hand.

*Pain killers where a luxury and most of us, especially in the ER waiting extended times for a bed had to adure constant pain.

*toilets in the ER area so dirty, full of blood and vomit on the floor and no toilet paper or toilet seat.

*Food served cold for most meals, same menu served over and over during the time there.

*No hot water in shower in ward. Forced to bath bed side in a small basin of most times cold water.

*theft of person stuff scary and a constant worry.

*cleaning staff very rude and forces you to either wake up or move without consideration.

*Doctors doing check up are scares. No real face to face time at all.

*reception desk staff unworried and uncaring, sending you in any direction to just be rid of you.

*building itself is dirty inside and out and need maintenance urgently.

I understand that the system is under stress and short staffed all across the board. However everyone suffers and gets treated badly. I also understand the staff are unhappy, however the need to realize it's not the fault of the patients.
