  I was in the Day Surgical Ward and the team looking after me were absolutely fantastic, going above and beyond making sure I was looked after.

  Generally my experiences here have been good. A&E is very heavily overburdened so there can be extremely long wait times especially in winter. If you are a medical emergency you will be seen immediately, if not, be prepared to spend a long time. However they will see you. My wife also went to the Maternity unit here as a public patient and the service was superb. Parking is a problem, as usual.

  One of my biggest fears in life is that I will end up in this place - a most disorganised, badly run (by both management and staff) and bulging with "politics" I am sure many will say that they are doing their best up there. Well I'm sorry, "their best" is just not good enough. I had an accident three years ago which involved a fall where I badly cut my scalp. I went to A&E and was there for 13 hours. I sat (and sometimes tried to lie) on the chairs in A&E while staff faffed around and pen pushed. The Doctor who dealt with me (young fella) instead of being a doctor essentially gave out to me for having the accident. It was only after I went home that I realized that they actually did nothing for me of any consequence. Hilariously, they x-rayed my neck when the problem was with my scalp, and I think they only did that to tick a box. My sense is that they just knew I wasn't a critical case and just left me sitting there for most of the night, in the hope that I might think they cared. Two years ago, my father spent a week in there because he had pneumonia and how he was dealt with (or not) was very very scary. Lots of staff running around pretending they are busy and according to my friend who worked there, bullying each other, unionising and politic'ing rather than doing their jobs. If I am ever seriously ill and am sent to CUH I want to be euthanised. Whenever I hear the letters CUH I get a shiver down my spine.
