"PV bleed"

About: Pilgrim Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

Four weeks ago I had a termination because I just wasn't ready I felt guilty and bad for doing what I did. That went all well until 4 weeks later I was bleeding very heavily as losing tissue as well on the sun and it got worse.

I rang 111 and they advised me to come into hospital as soon as possible as soon as I got in my car to come to hospital I was bleeding  so bad it went through my trousers my underwear and a towel sat on, I waited for  2 hours in a& e to be seen. I asked the lady who is doing my bloods to see where I can get a pad or get changed or something to feel more comfortable as I could not sit in that any more.

The doctor called me then asked me questions, I was talking to him them he walked off and did not come back at all, I did not even know what was happening. I got to the ward at 23. 30 that night I was uncomfortable I feel like I needed a shower, I stayed in that night. The doctor wanted me to have a scan the next day but no one turned up to that me. I was so upset and annoyed I just wanted to go home and then I have to come bk the next day to have my scan done.

So had my scan done and the doctor said the next best thing is surgery to remove the remaining tissue. Which was booked for Thursday. So I had to not eat or drink anything the night before and had to be there by 8 in the morning I waited all day to have my surgery done and the doctor who put the canular in my arm is was so painful and my hand was so cold, he did it twice in the same arm in two different places.

So it was my turn to have it do after waiting for ages, got down there and they I was turned away because for a emergency so that made me feel worse and so upset and just cried then because I wanted it over and to be done with after waiting all day as it was. They finally told me at in 11 last night that I will have to wait until the next day to have it done so I had to stay in again and after that I had it done at 11 40 in the morning after I had it done I was home that day because I was just had enough
