Called into Queen Alexandria Hospital with Immune Thrombopenia Purpura after a blood test earlier the same day and told both a clinical team and bed would be waiting. Neither were. I was at the hospital from 10pm to 1pm (15hrs). The Registrar was very friendly and answered all my questions during a thorough examination. Head scan was exercised and found to be clear. Steroids were prescribed but unavailable and had to be chased down. I received these around 5am, some 7hrs after arrival. I informed staff that I'd be leaving at midday. 10 blood phials were extracted around 10am and I received a prescription for steroids from another friendly Doctor who explained I have Immune Thrombopenia Purpura and the possible side affects of medication. My blood sugar was also tested. I spoke to yet another Doctor before my canula was removed and I left the hospital around 12.30pm. The Registrar, Doctor and especially the nursing staff were exceptional. No follow up (20/03/24) has yet been received.
