Hi Pam


Just wanted to add my comment about my recent experience of Kings A&E. I recently had to visit A&E in the early hours of the morning and was very satisfied with my treatment and care at Kings. The care and attention I received was fantastic - it was quiet in A&E at the time so this may have helped, although I see this wasn't the case for Indya (hope you're feeling better now Indya).


I was vomiting violently throughout my initial triage but felt really well cared for and subsequently had a thorough MOT with the medics including scanning for a suspected triple A which turned into an ultrasound teaching opportunity for the junior doctor (with my full permission of course). They explained everything to me as they carried out their tests, kept me fully informed and I felt very safe in their care.

That's great ontherun. Once you're admitted to the wards though, it's sometimes pot luck on the care you receive.


If you don't have family/friends I dread to think how many patients get by.


As posted, my Mum was due an op a couple of years ago in day surgery and it was only because we noticed a discrepancy on her operation for the next day that she could have ended up with the wrong breast removed. I can't imagine what effect this would have had on my Mum on waking up! She had been the strongest person there for her extended family before this.

They do ,don't they ? I've had several bad and some very bad experiences , can't actually think of any good ones .


The majority of my really bad experiences have been where the patient was elderly .The bad ones have involved me .


It seems to come down to the individuals who see you in the hospital . Can't be right surely ?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
