I was visiting the area camping and had a bleed during early pregnancy. I have had 2.5 years of IVF and had a previous ectopic pregnancy. Despite this and despite my extreme anxiety and belief I had lost the baby, they kept me waiting for 4.5 hours before telling me no one could scan me until the Tuesday (it was Saturday evening) because of the bank holiday. Asked me several questions first though so I was left not believing that they would have been willing to scan someone in more physical pain. I now have to wait to find out if I’ve miscarried my baby. And they never let me know the results of my bloods and urine sample, which they refuse to give me over the phone. Even the receptionist said “I don’t know why they won’t give them over the phone”. I’ve had many, many hospital appointments and had private conversations over the phone so to say results aren’t possible over the phone is definitely not linked to GDPR. A waste of time with no care or answers.
"Bad experience"
