My daughter has polycystic kidneys, suffering from extreme pain, left plank across her stomach and a high rated urine infection creates phylfrinitus which needs to treat very quickly. Rushed by ambulance to Cramlington a & e Friday evening, given oxygen with mask to help relieve pain was the given, about 11.30pm a pain relief capsule inserted up her bum and we were then told this should 'work' 20 mins. 12 o'clock came and severe pain continued. Then a female nurse came to insert cannular and inserted needle on the bottom of her thumb! Extreme pain! Another nurse then came to put in morphine and anti sickness. By 1.30am she was going sleepy. Next morning a doctor discharged her. No contact from cramlington to renal at Freeman who would have given staff full details on her health problem and his she should have been kept in until the high level of infection had decreased considerably! She was admitted into freeman as soon as the doctor saw her in renal clinic and kept in for 4 days.Why did cramlington 'kick' her out!!!
"Not one of the staff knew nothing of kidney..."
