I became very unwell - really bad unbearable pain in my stomach vomiting & diarrhea really bad, so severely that I had to get an ambulance to take me to a&e at manchester royal infirmary. When I got there I thought maybe I had food poisoning, they fitted in my arm an iv took blood samples gave me two codeine tablets n sent me to waiting room. I explained I couldn't go in the waiting room packed with people, I suffer agoraphobia also I had a accident personal type.
They didn't care about my agoraphobia or my accident because I vomited in a&e they just wanted shut of me. I was shaking to death, must of been a temperature but ambulance gave me two paracetamol in the ambulance so it took my temperature down. Then a nurse calls my name, I'm still vomiting, and brought me through some other doors directed me to a dr next door n was quite rude to me saying a&e is not emergency because you've eaten from a takeaway and you have diarrhea. I couldn't believe what I was just hearing how dare they.
I went in, seen doctor they told me its a bug I've picked up so therefore it was nothing to do with takeaway.
I went home and realized they left the IV in my arm I had to pull it out myself n blood dripping out of it so I pressed my finger down on it till it stop bleeding which is now a big blue bruise.
I'm disgusted in the M.R.I and the way they run n manage the a&e department it's unbelievable to think ur in safe hands when ur ill. But in a&e they do not seem to care about their patients, ur just another case to them - to a majority of the nurses in a&e. There is some nice kind pleasant few but as for the ones in the white overalls, I don't rate them one bit u don't feel in safe hands.
If I have to go hospital again then I can assure u i'll be asking to take me to a different hospital I don't trust the M. R. I anymore.
