Went to A and E as my GP wasn’t answering the phone. Presented with symptoms of shaking, chills, upper abdomen pain, extreme fatigue and bad brain fog. Waited 4 hours on an uncomfortable chair praying I would not pass out. Doc saw me, rude woman, felt my abdomen and said” there’s nothing wrong so I can’t give you anything, no tumours or cysts”. I was shocked as I never said anything about tumours or cysts. I asked for blood tests and she tried to push me off by saying it’s a diff department and I’ll be waiting hours and hours, I told her I’ll wait. Then she sent me back to waiting room and she would arrange a urine test. 3 hours later, another doc came and called me to take blood. Said she would send a nurse to see me to do Obs and a take a urine sample. No nurse arrived. Bloods were in range so I was sent home with a broad spectrum antibiotic. 5 days later I feel the same but can’t go through all those hours in A and E and made to feel like I’m wasting their time.
