"Dirty, uncaring, and poor diagnostics"

About: Lister Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as a service user),

I went to lister A&E for severe upper right flank pain. While there, I threw up constantly due to the pain and begged for pain relief. I wasn’t given pain relief or anti emetics for 5 hours.

The doctor diagnosed me with a gynaecological issue despite me presenting with classic symptoms of gallstones (which were later almost immediately diagnosed at another hospital when I attended their A&E at a later point).

They didn’t have a bed so it took another couple of hours before I was admitted. The ward was dirty. Someone had puked in the bathroom sink making it unusable (this was at 1am). By 9am the following morning, it still had not been cleaned and no out of service sign had been put up. Both disgusting and a health risk
