"Long wait and then left me"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance

(as the patient),

I became really ill early September 2025. I had a fever, hallucinating, thumping head, dizzy & couldn't keep down even a sip of water, by the next day my Husband suggested that I attend hospital. I said I couldn't stand. He phoned an ambulance at 6pm (which we would never do unless necessary). The ambulance arrived after 3am. One staff member was checking me & the other stood with their arms folded & just kept saying that all I needed was an anti-sickness jag that they could not give. They actually said that they could give me a lift but it is a 10 hour wait. They left me.

When I saw my doctor she was horrified! My kidney was damaged & I received approx 5 bags of fluid, morphine, anti-sickness jags etc. I cannot tell you how the ambulance people made me feel, especially when we do not abuse the service! 😡 please reply with feedback.
