Information on my documentation mostly incorrect.
Triage nurse didn't seem to care. Told them I was in the worst pain I had ever felt. Didn't even offer pain relief. Recorded it as moderate pain. One nurse tried to use a dirty, single patient use sats probe when doing my obs. (It had been laying on the floor which is also far from clean).
Offered me paracetamol for pain 3 hours after asking, even though I had told them I had already taken the maximum dose in 24 hours.
Had I not been aware of 24 hour maximum dosages, I would've taken what I was given. Nurse just recorded this at declined, took my blood pressure and didn't offer anything else.
I feel that the amount of nurses and doctors who walked past me when I was very obviously in a lot of pain was disgraceful for people in a caring profession.
