Hospital Admission

Hello everyone

I am curious as to who had their own room and who was on a shared ward.

I'm being bypassed on nhs at Whittington Hospital, North London (live in Kent)

My boss was bypassed there 2 yrs ago, he was in a ward of 6 beds (i think) he stayed one night & was let home.

I was sleeved at the UCH.... shared ward 5 beds (i was the only bariatric patient in that section) I was in 2 nights

Thank you. I guessed it would differ but it's helping to get an idea

I was on a ward of 4 people 2 of which incl me was a bypass patient, let home the next day.

Thanks. What other type of patients are on these wards then if not all bariatric?

I was lucky to have my own room at Rosshall, Glasgow a Private hospital but as NHS patient . Missed having company though.

It was a surgical ward I was on I think, so people were in for all sorts. There was an elderly lady who had dementia in the bed opposite and the other lady was quite ill but I dont know what either of them were in for.

 

[ICAWM]

Of course, that makes sense. Thank you

our hospital only has private rooms. My husband was on the same floor but different wing and different nurses than me.
All different kinds of patients there. Someone even passed away on my husband's wing while we were there last weekend.

I was in the High Dependency Unit as I had previously had pulmonary embolisms. It was noisy, but at least it was for only one night and I had the very best care.
