I had an horrendous experience at Salford Royal Hospital when undergoing an outpatient/ office based hysteroscopy.
I suffered the highest level of pain I have ever experienced during any procedure.
It was also performed with a total lack of care for my wellbeing and left me feeling traumatised and mistrusting of this clinic .
I do not know why I was not offered pain relief or the option of General Anesthetic or other sedation. I also cannot understand why the Gynaecologist did not speak throughout the procedure or offer any comfort even though I was crying out in pain shaking and sweating. The fact that the student nurse present informed me that the patient before screamed throughout tells me all I need to know about the level of patient care offered in this clinic.
Salford Royal has treated many of my family members and their standards of healthcare are usually wonderful. Sadly Gynaecology and Outpatient hysteroscopy at this hospital is barbaric!!!
