"Severe back pain"

About: Newham General Hospital

Anything else?

Went to Newham general AandE on out of hours Dr's advice who is based at this hospital in section called out of hours GP Co-operative. He told me to ask for x- ray for my back injury. Triage nurse told me because your standing and able to sit your fine, you don't need X-ray. Then referred me back to GP Co-op who was furiouse at this. He told me they always do this and he fobbed me off with pain killers. What the hell is going on at this hospital, I'm at home, in pain and have not been diagnosed. Please do your self a favour concider another hospital.
