    DO NOT go to RM hospital. My husband went to our GP with abdominal pain, after blood test, he said…read moreif the pain gets worse, get too a major hospital, you will need specialist care. John could NOT sleep. The Ambulance took him to the RMH. John saw a liver specialist, we believed he was a cancer specialist, to later find out he was NOT. Ben Thomson Failed John in every way. Johns scan was done, weeks after he was 1st admitted, way too late. Dr Ben Thomson never phoned us with the results, we. had to do all the chasing. I was told to organise a liver biopsy. I phone the number immediately , but we had to wait another another 3 weeks. Dr ben Thomson did NOT refer John to an ONCOLOGIST for 2 months!!! In the mean time, other people we knew near that same time period, were diagnosed & up to their 3 rd immunotherapy treatment. John presented at RMH 18/6/2023. John was discharged with NO discharge plan. John was dead by 9/9/2023. RMH & BEN THOMSON, NO HELP AT ALL! we got a taxi to Cabrini Malvern on the 1st of Sept, Cabrini organised Palliative care for us that day we then got a taxi home. A palliative care nurse arrived on the 2/9/23. we needed the palliative care nurse on the 18/6/23. RMH refused any help, I was just forced to give john clexanne injections, i am NOT a nurse. I now have PTSD wth all the trauma & lack of any support at the time. I have now spent longer in & out of hospitals then John ever did, trying to over come the trauma. The whole 3 months was extremely stressful, I hope one day I will recover.

    Had two day procedures at Epworth hospital this year. Both times was so impressed with Hospital…read morestaff and care. All staff polite, friendly, called me by name, and care was pretty spectacular. Offered magazines if I had to wait, bought me up to speed, answered questions with clarity and friendliness and even offered to have special meal bought up if I needed it after procedure. Makes you feel rest assured and relaxed. Highly recommended

    I was meant to go to rehab at Epworth for 2 weeks, I wanted to leave the very next morning!! The…read morephysiotherapist I had was really unprofessional & too busy chatting & gossiping with her colleagues to care what or how I was doing. The (male) nursing unit manager was abusive towards me & made it very obvious that he didn't believe I had, had a fall, because none of the staff witnessed it.My daughter came in, at first encouraging me to try & stay the full 2 weeks but a little while after she got there the NUM came into my room & continued to be rude & confrontational towards me (in front of my daughter, and not being aware it was my Daughter, who also happens to be a Nurse), after my daughter witnessed the way I was being treated, she told me to pack & leave with her. The Allied health staff (and a trainee Specialist) tried to tell me that what a Professor & various other professionals had told me was incorrect & that all that I had wrong with me was "a bit of arthritis", yet they never spoke to anyone or obtained any of my actual medical records or test results from the hospital I was taken to after the car accident. I stuck it out for almost the full 2 weeks as I genuinely wanted help but despite my efforts, I didn't get the help I so desperately needed. They completely messed up my bowel care regime & medications (that were not an issue to begin with) & changed me to a morphine based medication after I specifically informed them that morphine makes me feel very nauseous. To top it off after I left, they rang my TAC case worker & told her I needed "tough love", I did not give them permission to speak to anyone regarding my health status, so they in fact breached my privacy. I have a spinal cord injury & am pretty sure no amount of "tough love" is going to fix that. I needed guidance & skills to enable me to me more Independent. I deserved kindness, compassion, patience & understanding not to be bullied, belittled and treated so cruelly. What little self esteem I had left, I lost completely during my short stay. I would never NEVER EVER recommend anyone go to the Epworth for Rehab, or for any reason & would never allow another member of my family to either.

    I'll spare any kind of hospital-visit details, but having required the care of a few hospital…read morevisits in the last couple of years (damn you aging body!) I can start to see the value in the painful amounts of cash spent on private health insurance. The Epworth Freemasons is a private hospital with a number of day-procedure suites and specialists. They have a lot of specialised women's facilities and having been here for a recent procedure I was astounded by the level of care and professionalism I was met with. Mostly because I have been treated at Royal Womens, where patients are treated like cattle and you'll be lucky to see the same face twice. Obviously it's going to depend on the kind of care you need and doctor you wind up with, but even when I had a day procedure here a few years ago and complained about the jerk doctor and his lousy bedside manner, the hospital administrators were courteous and understanding. Unfortunately even the exxy health care probably won't cover you for treatment costs at Freemasons, but they are good about providing quotes upfront before booking to help you prepare. Just be warned that you may receive an unsolicited donation request phone call after being a patient here, which can be a bit insulting if you've barely scraped together your treatment costs, but as a non-profit organisation, is just how the world works. If you have a choice (and basically in the case of this hospital you're doing exactly that), I do have to give them props for their care of women.

    Consumer Liaison consumerliason@petermac.org PATIENT…read moreFEEDBACK My stay in Peter Mac from Tues, 6 Feb 2018 tom Mon 13 Feb 2018 in Ward 5A Bed 16 Writing in point form for clear & succinct communication: Prior to this, I was treated by 3 different hospitals namely Genesis (Michael Chao); Epworth (Prof McKendricks) & Peter Mac (Sarat Chander) since 2015 Coming to the realisation that it might be better to do this under one interactive centre, I requested my GP, Dr Abraham Mass to refer me to Peter Mac so I could do this. This done in Dec 2017 resulting obtaining the earliest appointment from you on 6 Feb 2018 I was treated by Sarat in 2015 before going to Kerala, India for Ayurvedic treatment. This together with the Hormone therapy bring down my PSA levels from + 350 to 14.8 in Sept 2015 but this couldn't be sustained. Sarat was most concerned by this and made a personal phone call to me to re-consider if I was doing the right thing. I continue to be impressed by such a caring & humanistic caring professional! Then, on seeing him, on 6 Feb, my wife & I shared with him what I had been through was going since then. My Cancer had deteriorated and he and his Registrar Dr. Beini who complimented his professional etiquette to the "t" assured me not to be disappointed as there were many options still left for me. Not privy to my 2nd bone scan on 22 Jan, my wife and I were most apprehensive. We were quite surprised at the level of deterioration and so was Sarat who arranged for an immediate Emergency admission that evening. I was assigned to Ward 5A Bed 16 under the Registrar Patrici and her Registrar, Dr Felicity. The next day they came to see me to advise me on my case. This first meeting turned out to be rather confrontational with unwarranted remarks like: * this is not a 5 Star and I would be discharged ASAP * that I may never be able to walk unaided ever again; *Radiologists are not true doctors! Then, after they left the room, I remembered some pertinent information I should have given them which could affect my treatment protocol and requested another 2 mins of their time to inform them of this but I was not accommodated though Felicity did re-visit me, then. The next day, the Oncology team headed by Prof Peter Green followed up with this to give me my prognosis. He was most optimistic and consoled me that I had a good chance to make a good hile Before being admitted, I had already fallen 6 times, 4 of these directly on my patella on hard ground which rattled my confidence and put a good amount of fear in me! Tis happened on the R patella which was already damaged in a whiplash 35 years ago. Now with the nerve impingement in the lower lumbar made matters even worse. I then fell again on Thursday while the Physiotherapist, Dr Jessica visited me. She became most concerned gave immediate instructions to the Ward that the alarms should be at the highest level even if I were to attempt just to get out of bed. A steady stream of professionals attended to me daily from then on. I have been assigned to be under the duty of care to Prof Guy Toner, whom I am yet to have a first consultation with. I was then advised to have 5 sessions of Radiotherapy and attend Physio twice a day. This meant Registrar couldn't discharge me because I had now become a liability to myself. Sarat also arranged for have a comprehensive X-ray done for me so that he could recommend me to get on the Denusab treatment protocol ASAP. I am happy with this and happy to go ahead after Sarat assessing the results of my next PSA score on my next meeting with him on Mar 20. I might add here that I am also open to having PSMR experimental trials if the Oncology team deems this appropriate for me. Concluding, I like to add here that the purpose of this feedback is not to fix any blame on anyone. This is done to inform you of how impressed my wife, siblings and well-wishers and I are with level of professional Cancer treatment in PeterMac despite the initial glitches. Personally, I feel that the care of treatment I received here is just as good as Mt Sinai or Hope in USA and we'll jointly endeavour to make PeterMac the best Cancer treatment in the Universe! Almost all staff, right down from those down the line like Kelly; Sarodee; Anthony; Tara, Ingrid, Georgina, Jess, Felicity and most importantly the staff from Radiology treated me with respect & care, especially John & Josh. I look forward to continuing to work with you in from here-on. Thank You Anthony Alfred 19 Feb 2018 Melbourne
