I went to a&e with an urgent referral from an out of hours doctor for abdominal pain, I was seen by triage within the hour where they took my obs and a blood test.
I was then sat waiting for several hours and still hadn't seen anyone, I approached a doctor and asked him to help me, he told me whilst stood in the hallway that my blood results had come back clear with no infection present and said I could go home, with no consultation, no physical exam, and not looking further into what was wrong with me if it wasn't an infection.
So I sat for several hours to not been seen by anyone and no answers or diagnosis for what was an urgent referral.
