Webglynne, this is not the place to air your grievances against the local hospital.......there is a complaints process within the hospital, whereby you can air your concerns and the hospital will have the opportunity to address those concerns......by airing your concerns on here you put the hopital at a disadvantage.

If you think that your treatment was not of a suitable standard, then the people who dealt with you need to know this....how else can it be rectified?

If you bring your concerns to the people who can sort it out for you, then someone else may be saved a similar experience.

As for the taxi fares, I am sure that you could have been re-imbursed for your 'out-of-pocket expenses.......or at least that used to be the case.
I would enquire about it.

Lots of people are very happy to condemn the local services.....but few people come on here and tell us when they have had a positive experience.
