The first time, I saw the triage nurse, got sent to a GP on site, only to be referee back to A&E and admitted for a week. The care was excellent over the week from the other nurses, but I was just restless. The second time, I had to wait in A&E for over two hours after waiting for blood samples to be taken. The triage nurse was very rude, however the Dr was lovely, taking an interest in my profession and having a chat about Brexit! If you didn't know it was a hospital, St Helier looks a bit like a prison with its fading white walls and unkept exterior. It's been kind of decorated inside though so it's not all bad!

The ground floor passage in the main building leads through into different floors in other parts, which leads to a little confusion, at first. The care I received was excellent, from Nurses, Doctors and Consultants, and I consider the hospital as the best among the ten+ hospitals that I have been treated in. Every two or three days, my bed and furniture were moved around the ward, so that total cleaning of all floors, walls, and ceilings could take place. This was to prevent MRSA, which was, and is, very common in almost new hospitals, which are probably cleaned a lot less often. The food is pretty good, including in the cafeteria. The late Goon, Harry Secombe was a fan of this hospital and he equipped it with one of the first CAT scans in England.

Never Again! I am…read moregoing to write about the worst experience I have even had at the hands of a Doctor in a Hospital. The Whittington Hospital to be precise. His name is Dr. Joquau Kravvas from Thesalonica Greece, and he possesses the worst kind of Greek Male Mysogony that exists. I was greeted with "Why are you wearing two jumpers"? It is very cold possible the coldest day of the year I replied. He explained nothing about the treatment I had gathered from the nurse that he was about to remove some red skin that could possible develop into a cancerous growth, in the event it did not. Dr. Brarrack joked with the nurse that he would 'Have To Remove Half Of My Face' due to what he could see. I certainly hoped not. He drilled ferociously for half an hour. It was relentless. I hope I would;d not be scarred for life. The nurse said the scar would bleed for a week or so. It went on to bleed for over six weeks, I had to visit the A&E of UCHL during the Xmas break as it bled soo much throughout the dressing and I woke up to blood on my pillow for six weeks. This was embarrassing as I was staying with relatives for some of the holiday, Three months late the scar is still there. I wrote an honest review of my treatment and mentioned his name. He had it removed. But I doubt that Yelp will allow vanity struck doctors like him to remove an honest review. I like the nurses in the Dermatology dept. and I like the Italian coffee and soup stand that is parked in front of the Whittington, but I never want to set eyes on Joqau Barrack as long as I live. And I would not wish him to cut a biopsy into anyone\s cheek. Not even in Harley Street which he arrogantly brags about. He drilled by cheek with the ferocity of a farmer drilling a carcass,

Over the last month I have spent a fair bit of time in and out of various hospitals in London. I…read moream thinking of doing a series. So let's start with the one closest to home. Whilst this isn't the first hospital I have ever been in, in London, it was the first to offer me overnight hospitality and they keep asking me to come back for more. I get the feeling the staff like having me around, or my health issue is more serious than it feels. The staff here are great. Really friendly and welcoming. When I checked in to A&E I was glad to have a friend with me to kill the time but I was seen by triage within 20 minutes and then only had to wait a few hours (it wasn't obviously serious) before being seen by a doctor. The A&E doctor was a nice guy, though I didn't particularly approve of the way he stuck needles into me, it hurt quite a lot (it was in the hand) and since I hate needles anyway (even writing this is making me feel faint) I was throwing up quite a lot. The anti-sickness drugs took effect swiftly and when the blood test results came back I was given a room in major injuries within 5 minutes and a private room on a ward within a couple of hours. Everyone from the porters to the nurses and phlebotomists were amazing, always willing to chat and make you feel included in their lives. My friends tell me the ward doctor was very attractive. I was a little busy being ill to really judge but I can vouch for my friends good tastes. I was impressed with the range of tests they gave me and very grateful that with the NHS I didn't have to pay for any of this. The food on the ward was, average at best however the canteen area was filled with choices and all of which looked delicious. I can recommend this hospital, especially because there is a therapy dog who comes to visit every day and there are lots of local groups who visit the elderly and palliative care patients to ensure that everyone has a visitor during the visiting hours. Whilst there wasn't a tv or a phone in my room the time was passed pleasantly. Ambulatory care is also a very welcoming place to visit as well as just a wonderful phrase to repeat. The staff take good care of you here. If you get truly bored you can always count the pictures of cats scattered around the hospital.

One thing to note is that the entrance that way (via a pedestrian walkway from the station: ask station staff to direct you), is actually on the second floor. If you don't remember that on your way out and head down to the ground floor it makes it just a little confusing!

For Just one unit of blood they made me wait more than 24 hours! I had to spend the night there, without any information, except.."you have to wait". Night doctors never came to see me, morning doctors on Sunday came to see me after 10;30 am. A procedure that normally takes 6pr 8 hours it took more than 1 day! There are no communication between that team!!! I had to return on (13/02/2025),10 days late to the ED department at Charing Cross Hospital. After my horrific experience 2 weeks ago, and this time it was just as horrendous as the first time. I arrived at 9:30 am. to get my second blood transfusion that my doctor sent me 2 days ago. After having waited for 6 hours, a doctor came to told me, in the middle of the hallway, that they didn't think I was needed another transfusion, so he was very sorry but I had to go home. And I told him, "after having me waiting 6 hours, that I am here because my doctor told me two days ago that I needed another transfusion, because my anemic. You don't even ask me routinary questions about how I feel. and you tell me, you just think that I do not need it? And He answered me, very calmly, yes I'm sorry, we can't do anything! I have been treated in public hospitals my whole life. I have even been treated in this hospital many times, and always was fine. But the ED service in Emergency department, is the worst I have seen in my life, those people do not communicate with each other, they make you wait for hours for everything, they have almost no communication with the patient, and the only two times I was there I felt that they gave me very careless treatment.

And my doctor coming back to see me even after he took off for the day. I have to reserve the fifth star. I want to blame one person, but at the end of the day this is a hospital and it should be systematic and no one should have to wait from 10:40 to 5:30am to get to sleep after a major surgery. None of the amazing nurses on my floor could help me. All they could do was call an Asian gentleman which I believe is a nurse so that he could he took a very very long time coming up and when he did he gave me 1/2 of what appeared to be a Valium. (Took him hours to deliver). I explained to him that I just had major surgery was woken up by my neighbor in a very loud voice and that I have insomnia since I was brought home from the hospital at three days old. At home where it is legal I smoke marijuana and go right to sleep like a baby. However, When I am in places where it is illegal I require temporary meds to sleep. Function. I'm OK with that once in a while but I did tell him that my tolerance was very high my weight is not 103 pounds like some ladies and I told him the dosage that I used to go to sleep when I'm on a plane or in a foreign city with jet lag. (2mg Xanax) they don't have that here so he gave me a half Valium. Zero efficacy. Took other half 45 min later when he allowed. Nothing. 5am still awake. Terrible. This all began at 10:40 PM it's nearly 5PM I still haven't slept. last night I slept 1 1/2 hours. My blood pressure is extremely dangerously low right now and lack of sleep does not help this. This is literally a 99.9% hospital and staff but this is a major problem and it hurt me. now I'm getting fluid for my extreme low blood pressure. Still no sleep in sight. Insanity.told me that regardless of the need for a patient - only one Valium per persoN can be given for sleep. The problem is how we metabolize drugs is completely different from body to body size to size and even physiology comparing a 90lb woman or a 165lb woman or a 250lb man. Or someone that takes international flights And has to pop something to get past the jet lag and work. I'm posting this review Because im exhausted ands I was just moved from the hall (where I don't have to be in dead silence) back to my room - wired from the lack of sleep medication afTer a major surgery. The lady on my floor told mE no one gets more than one Valium to sleep. If my plastic surgeon did that to me diiring our inpatient work - I would never be able to fet through our surgeRies. Abuse is one thing, but taking a surgery patient with less than 3 HHS's of sleep. In 48 hours - and telling thEm one size fits all And then dumping them in their room is not how I've e bbeen treated in ssimilar situations. In the ER part, I had to scream and scream at the top of my lungs writhing in pain for hours. I didn't need to be drugged out of my mind, but not administering enough morphine for 8 and 10mm stones, should be a crimee. Finally, later someone, I think my doctor, gave me an ACtUAL effective dose that took awAy my pain and aallowed me to sleep for two hours. people with major surgery require SLEEP to HEAL. One size does not fit all. 1040pm to 5:00am was a very ugly, jittery painful nnight of no sleep afteR major surgery. Other than this experience all else is great. (had I know I would be treated like a drug seeker) I would have gOne somewhere else that can help with pain and healing sleep modalities quicker and more effectively. These were the largest stones stuck in my kidneys in 30 years of pushing out a total of 38 sTones. I feel Bad for hyper people liKe me. Healing is near impossible without sleep.

He didn't even interview me. It wouldn't have matteered either, he has one half rabbit in his arsenal. And for me it might as well have been a placebo. Game me no eye contact or acknowledgement.
