Just what do we expect from the NHS, I believe we just want a service that looks after you when an in patient, that the doctors treating you accept your questioning about your condition and to be part of the decision making regarding your condition, to be told just what to expect with regard to recuperation from any surgery, to be open and upfront about the whole treatment for your condition.
When attending out patients the same applies, you need to be told just what the diagnosis of your condition is, what the prognosis is and just what level of treatment you are to undergo. It is not difficult for this to happen, as a patient but you have to ask and ask till you are told do not just walk away without the information you need to deal with the treatment that is to follow, you should as well use the Internet to see what there is about your condition and to see any if there are any support networks to support you on your path way to good health, so remember it is your health no one else's so make sure you are fully informed.
