"Rude nurse"

About: City Care Centre

Extremely rude nurse advising me she “wasn’t going to break open the morphine cupboard” - I never even asked for pain killers nor have I ever taken them, I had just advised that the paracetamol and ibuprofen I had been taking for a week had not been relieving the pain I was in. She told me I had an attitude - not surprising really when I’ve gone for help and she has implied I was only there for drugs. Disgusting behaviour for someone, supposedly in the healthcare profession, to have. Told to keep taking the paracetamol and ibuprofen, even though it’s not giving me any relief. No sleep due to pain and too afraid to go and see another medical professional due to the way I have been spoken to and accusations made by this one person. Have never had a bad experience before however it’s people like this who let our healthcare service down and make people too afraid to seek help.
