I have never visited such a wonderful hospital as a patient. The nurses were absolutely beautiful bless them, so kind! And the Doc who treated me who was a chap with his hair in a ponytail, was so very considerate. I had my young baby with me, and the staff made us feel so welcome in a&e. Thank you to all staff at the hospital.
Just had gallbladder removal at day surgical department. All staff very friendly and helpful. Tea and toast was lovely
I had my son at st marys 15 years ago and they left the after birth in. I had to threaten them with legal action to remove. Ater 3 visits i got sent for a dnc after i nearly died. Fast forward to last year where my daughter had a still born and the staff did not monitor her and let the cold cot warm up and let the room smell of dying flesh. The staff still have lots to learn and i will not let any of my girls have babies there.
For the first time in a long time. I felt like I was listening to the happiest news of something not so good. But after going to AE 4 weekends in a row. Seen the specialist and they are appalled that treated this way and now caused long term irreversible problems.. so if it wasn't for someone listening to me st Mary's would have had 1 star.
I was born at this hospital and grew up on the Island, and both my parents always lived here. It is a beautiful place with lovely people, but the healthcare available is frankly appalling. I lost my Dad a year ago today and this is what happened to him...nnThere are nowhere near enough staff working at this hospital. At weekends it is like a ghost town. Often I was told there was a single consultant for the entire hospital. That’s one senior Doctor for 250 patients. The Doctors who are working there were, in my experience, nearly always temporary staff or Locums. The result of this is that there is no continuity of care. Over the period whilst my Dad was being ‘treated’ I phoned the hospital thirty times. I did not speak to the same person more than once, despite calling the direct wards where he was located. The staff I did speak to were often short and sometimes condescending.nnSecondly there are not enough beds. Whilst my Dad was there for six weeks in the Summer of 2023, the hospital was beyond capacity for the entire time. When Dad was moved from ICU to Whippingham there was no place for him. He was left in the centre of the room for 5 days, with no privacy screen or decency. Until I made a complaint to the hospital they didn’t even provide him with any power to charge his phone. He called me really upset, scared and alone. The hospitals excuse for Dad’s location was that they had assessed Dad to be the “most able” person in the room. My mum had to coerce a porter to help move Dad when a space became available, and sit with him to guard and make sure he could not be moved again. I didn’t see the other patients at that time, and on my next visit he had a screened off section, but given he died 6 weeks after this, and he had already lost 20% of his regular body weight before being admitted in hospital, I find their assessment erroneous at best.nnThere is no communication from the hospital or consultation with the direct family of the patient. We requested to speak to the consultants so many times I lost count. We managed one 5 minute phone call and the consultant said she was “too busy”, and “please do not call again”.nnWhen Dad was discharged, he was discharged to die, except nobody told us that. No plan of care at home, no assessment of his mobility, no pain relief, just a bus and stretcher to your home. Given that my Dad was in such acute deterioration of health at this point, was awake for about 1 hour in 24, and could not walk, I find it absolutely shocking. Luckily the IOW Council, and latterly the Mountbatten Hospice, came to our rescue and provided the help Dad needed at the end of his life. The hospital could have requested this assessment in situ and saved Dad immense pain for two days, and myself part of the mental anguish that will live with me for the rest of my life.nnI understand that sometimes people die of cancer. However when you have been seen by your GP very regularly Ventnor Health Practice by the way, had four colonoscopies and two endoscopies over a two year period, one letter stating that you did not have cancer, it is a surprise when someone dies of stage 4 cancer not long after being discharged from hospital. By the time Dad died he had a 9 cm wide tumour in his liver, which was one of many. His liver was so distended it was visible from the outside of his body and pressed into his stomach - explaining his increasing loss of appetite and weight for a period of two years. This cancer was metastatic, meaning it was secondary to the primary cause. Dad also had a metastatic cancer of the lungs in addition. Personally I believe it was a melanoma or skin cancer, but this wouldn’t have been picked up: The hospital and GP never examined his skin, despite this being the second most common cause of a metastatic liver cancer. They just kept looking inside his colon, not finding anything or exploring further. They did the bare minimum and wasted so many chances to save his life. I am not a Doctor, but if I was and I had seen Dad, I would be ashamed at how I could miss such physically obvious signs.
