  Three weeks ago I had an ankle fusion performed by a wonderful orthopaedic surgeon at Brisbane Private Hospital. Unfortunately the 3 days stay in hospital was not wonderful. The air conditioning was extremely cold, the food was awful and the nursing staff were average.The day of discharge a female nurse asked a male nurse to wheel me down to the entrance but he ignored her request. She took me to the entrance and left me there on my own saying she needed to return to the ward. When my wife drove in to the entrance she had to be assisted by the volunteer elderly gentleman to get me into our car. I would never voluntarily return to this hospital again.

  * they have one person on admission. This meant it took 35 mins before I was admitted, and consequently commencement of treatment was delayed, not just for me but also the people scheduled after me.

  * a private, for-profit hospital uses volunteers to take patients to the wards -- this should also be a paid role, not a way to exploit people on the dole who need to volunteer to meet mutual obligations. Charities need volunteers, not private wealthy hospitals.

  * the so-called chef to poison you by not following written instructions on special dietary requirements, even when you provide your own food. (Also, very poor knowledge of plant based milks (and inability to read instructions on the pack), which must be shaken so you don't get a glass of water/syrup at the top with white sediment at the bottom.)

  * you'll need to demand back any s8 pain medication you take with you to the hospital because they lock them up and "forget" to return them when you are discharged.

  My mom had a total hip replacement here and worst experience in hospital care from surgeon as well as ward nurse who attended to my mom. Nurse is rude, she seems not happy to change sheets and said my mom is making up her symptoms when in fact her haemoglobin is too low and it was not detected , she cannot eat for a week . Her low haemoglobin was only found out after she was moved to rehab ward, wherein she was given 2 bags of blood transfusion straight away and after that was able to eat. Care at the ward after surgery is very disappointing, care at rehab ward is excellent. My mom suffered a rare complication after surgery. Will never go back to this hospital and advise others to go elsewhere.

  Nurses were lovely, a bit on edge but understandable. Surgeon was lovely, theatre nurse was absolutely amazing. Although the temperature changes a lot. And I got food poisoning from a chicken pie from the cafe downstairs. Not fun.

  Healhscope (the company behind BPH and other hospitals) also has a number of unpublished policies affecting people with disabilities. These aren't published on their website, and should be, so that people and doctors can arrange their treatment accordingly.

  * I observed the cleaner use the same sponge she used in the bathroom to then wipe down my food tray. Gross. No wonder I came home with an infection.

  I would not return to this hospital, except this is where my chosen doctor consults.

  * the pharmacy did not provide my medications the first night, despite my having been at the hospital since 8.30am and their being prescribed at that time.

  Currently waiting at the hospital for a second surgery and felt like thanking all the staff, from admissions to post-op (this is my second surgery). Every one is kind, attentive to your personal needs, and walk around with a smile even all you can do is cry about your situation. Dear Nurses, I praise you. Thank you for choosing to be here every day and making people's lives a little less stressful considering the situation.

  * nursing care ranging from competent, to nasty (rough handling in the night, with all lights turned on to fully wake you, just to take your blood pressure), to completely absent (no nursing at all on Friday night). They also rely heavily on unpaid student nurses. Teaching is fine; using them as slave labour is not.
