First of all I would like to thank the 20 or so staff I spoke to on my visit. Without them none of this would have been possible
But this also makes me wonder how disjointed the services in A&E are since I had to see so many people and go in and out of different rooms multiple times
I came in an ambulance with chest pain and found out I had blood clots in my lungs. I had to stay over night for a ct scan. I got my results within about 2 hours of the scan but it took a further 14 hours to get my medicine so I could be discharged. Complete waste of a hospital bed but I am grateful to the staff nevertheless
I was referred to 2 services upon discharge for further investigation but two weeks later I have not heard from anybody and I have made 27 phone calls today to multiple departments who have all passed the buck and nobody is willing to help me. I was even told that there are no referrals on the system for me, so I can’t even get an appointment
I left a message for the consultant and they haven’t gotten back to me. It seems I have zero way to move forward, get my scans and check for progress
DVT and 2 blood clots in my chest but I’ve been left totally on my own
