the Alex
I hope you lived there for work reasons rather than medical needs. The Alex doesn't seem to have been cleaned or painted since it was built. There seems to be a general air of defeat about the staff, who I'm sure are hardworking and well trained but seemingly fighting the system that blights the NHS as a whole. A pal of mine has just come out of the Walsgrave in Coventry after a serious motorbike smash (4 days on life support, 16 hours of surgery) and that was absolutely spotless and bright, clean, almost pleasant, if hospitals can be described as such. Plus the Alex car park is a legalised method of robbery- I don't see any improvements being made to the place as a result of ripping off those who have the misfortune to have to visit there fore whatever reason.

Shocking
I had an op a few years ago, went in Saturday evening and was told to come back (some kid not breathing, very inconsiderate eh?) then went back the next day, out on the Monday. Cost my missus more than £15 and I'm sure she spent about 3 hours total there.

Legalised extortion.

Haha, my nan and grandad did the WRVS trolley in the alex.
Shouting "that's grandads cupboard" as a doctor wheels you through a corridor where every door is the same whilst suffering concussion really shits up the medical staff.
