Daughter was admitted on to ward from a&e at 7.30 pm after a very very long day. Around an hour after we got here
our cubicle ( nearest to door off ward ) became very loud with some really weird buzzing pounding noise.
anyway confused myself and nurse tried to look at what was going on. You can hear it in our room loudly, the corridor part outside our room and the kitchen opposite.
anyway it turns out the problem is this cupboard outside the ward exit doors which is some sort of electric cupboard witch is making some rather questionable noises !
the ward is quite long, so the rest of the. Aga etx are down by the nurses station and although can hear it slightly from the nurses station you can’t from the other beds when doors our shut. Our cubicle wall is basically on the other side of the wall to the cupboard.
the room is buzzing constantly.
it’s now nearly 3 am, daughter is sen and sensitive to nosies so has been in a crisis for hours,
there is no way of any sleep because it’s just far too loud.
they have said they reported it 3 times
But no one has come up. There is space on another ward upstairs but are insisting we have to stay here where there is no other spare room to move her to.
they said because the doctors she needs to see will do ward round in the morning here.
Which is ridiculous because we are here enough to know when there isn’t a bed on this ward for her we end up upstairs and her doctors manage to make it up a lift at ward round to see her.
