Worst nightmare of my life. I went in with a burst appendix. I new it was a burst appendix (mother doctor). Went in at 6pm I was made to lie on the floor of the waiting room, vomiting all over the place. My mother had to clean up. I was given no pain meds or beg for anti nausea, to keep liquids down. Told CT was shut for the night an would have to wait for 5am. Eventually had scan at around 5am. Of course burst appendix. I was operated on about 12pm. This is 18 hours later after it burst. This is incredible dangerous. I could have died. They were told what it was. Should have been put on anti biotics. My mother told them I was neurodivergent, but treated me with disdain. I am 18 and will never forget this horrendous experience.
