"There was no privacy whatsoever"

Whilst enduring a miscarriage, unfortunately I had to attend the gynae service at Ninewells Hospital. This turned an exceptionally difficult time into an horrific experience for myself and partner.

Even although I was bleeding, very obviously distressed, I was put into a tiny waiting room full of other people. There was no privacy whatsoever, everyone could see I was upset and bleeding as I was dripping blood. There was one toilet right at the waiting room, which also afforded no privacy.

After waiting for some time, I was even more distressed when another patient walked in with a baby in a pram and a toddler, the baby was crying and the toddler running about spilling the jug of water that was out for patients. 

I understand this is a triage area but feel it is totally inappropriate for women who are losing a pregnancy to be subjected to this and it is certainly not appropriate for other people and their children to witness me in a distressed state. The toddler kept asking their mother - why is that lady crying? Which caused further distress and anxiety to both myself and my husband.
