Problem with Not Passing Water

Posted By likeableqs55

"Problem with Not Passing Water"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

I was in severe pain from being unable  to pass water . I went to the  Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital's , Emergency department at 4.30 am . I was quickly seen by a very pleasant and competent triage nurse who soon diagnosed excessive build up of fluids. I was then taken to a ward and had the fluid Drained away and had various other tests carried out.

The service was outstanding the doctors and nurses couldn't have been kinder, I can't praise them enough and am so grateful for the treatment I received.
