Well where do I start
I’ve been having stomach ill health problems for past 4 years in and out of heartlands still not got to the bottom of it longest stay was 5 weeks. I was admitted again recently due to me being in chronic pain, vomiting, not keeping no fluid or food down and not eating for 5 days.
I had lack of sleep due to illness and this doctor who never even examined me just poke me very hard to wake me up from just dozing off for them to say go home. So I went to pals put a report in how I’ve been treated and since then I feel some staff have treated me differently. I also told the nurse that then came to me that the way I felt like taking all my medications and being done with it - their response was well wouldn’t do that because you will only sick it all back up.
I got discarded home after 6 pm to be then going back to a&e after contacting 111 for advice which the doctor advised me to go back to a&e will my still ongoing symptoms so I did and after 12 hours waiting for them to say gonna try get you on ward 7 which wasn’t too happy about but now change of plan I’m under investigation through gastrology.
Feels like I’m just left not knowing when I’m next gonna help.
