"Waste of time"

About: Diana, Princess Of Wales Hospital

Well I wish I could say I was surprised by the shocking service but I'm not. Yesterday I was taken to hospital via ambulance due to an asthma attack once there I was told I had high lactate levels, low potassium levels and was treated for them. And then told I've an infection and given antibiotics and sent home. The next day I have another sever attack (this makes 4 within a week) and was once again taken to hospital via ambulance and put in SDEC ward I waited over an hour to have my observations checked and only had them done when I told them I had had another asthma attack and taken my medication..... When I finally saw the doctor I was told to just keep taking my normal medication (which clearly isn't controlling my symptoms) and come back in Saturday for bloods..... I've wasted numerous amount of hours for nothing I have had no treatment whatsoever today and now have to come and sit back here another day to have my bloods done!!

What's the point in me having an action plan for my chronic lung conditions if no medical professionals follow it!! Most likely I will end up back in withing the next few days
