have never had such a bad experience with doctors as here in Harlow. Seriously these guys must step up. After days in pain and being brave (stupid) my husband took me to a Princess Alexandra hospital to an emergency room. Well of course what other doctor would you go early AM .They made me wait few hours first than a nurse came to see me took some notes of my pressure, temperature blabla. She couldn’t really do more for me so she sit me back to waiting room . Waiting for specialist for another 2,5 hours. I’ve been crying in pain this time and could barely walk. This woman called me . She didn’t even looked at me she was just staring in the computer looking what previous nurse noted.. She suggested me a tablets for a heartburn. HEARTBURN!! She said I am wasting her needed time for someone with life threatening case and asked me to go to my gp if the pain remains for 7days. Are you serious??? My husband decided to take me to a private clinic near Harlow where they immediately took me in a room and provided care I needed. The tests that needed to be done . It makes me really sad if for a health care we need to pay extra. I pay My taxes and NIN every month minimum of £400 !! I love England in every way and that’s why I live here but I have to say, this would never happened in my country. Always hearing bad reputations about Harlow hospital, now I know better..btw they found urcels in my stomach not a heartburn.
