Rochdale Infirmary

I’d like to give this place more than a 3, but it’s difficult.
On the one hand they were on the ball and rushed me into the MEU when I was showing signs that I may have MS (I did), and on the other I was treated like a common thug when I ended up at the A+E on a freezing new years eve with blood pouring down my arm, having fallen in the snow and putting my hand in a broken bottle that was hiding in the white stuff.
Unless you have been in the same situation you won’t know what I mean. At the same time I was there there was a drunk idiot visiting also (I was drunk too but not in a twatty way) and he was being really nasty and kicking off with the nurses and staff. It seems as though they decided to take it out on me and treated me like I was him. Very unprofessional if you ask me.
I have to visit every few months or so to see my specialist Nurse and it is always a decent experience, as long as I don’t fall over in the snow!!!

Much to everyone’s disgust, much if not most of Rochdale’s Infirmary activities are transferring to other hospitals. We will be left with only a rump medical service. The Infirmary is a largely new building, but built ‘cheap’ with the obvious consequential faults. It used to offer a wide range of services but many are gradually being transferred out.
