My experience this week, please read & 🔄
Christmas day I developed agonising pain in my side. It was intermittant I suspected a kidney stone. I was sent to out of hours doctor on call service he referred me to the local acute hospital and I was told I had a bed
Christmas day I developed agonising pain in my side. It was intermittant I suspected a kidney stone. I was sent to out of hours doctor on call service he referred me to the local acute hospital and I was told I had a bed
When I arrived I was told they didnt realise I also had Covid. I was informed since I had Covid they no longer had a bed for me, (no spaces in the red pathway) I was given medication & a single dose of pain relief and sent home with the promise of a CT the next day
The medication wore off by 8am I was curled up in a ball crying the pain was so bad my husband called an ambulance but was told I didnt "qualify" for one and was referred to NHS 24- 10 minutes on hold, 10 minutes of irrelevant questions to be told he should take me back to A&E
