"No specialist ever came"

About: Croydon University Hospital

I was admitted to the AMU having been taken to A & E by ambulance. It was decided that I probably had a neurological condition which required the opinion of a specialist consultant. Despite waiting in the ward for a further 2 days no consultant ever came. I was released without seeing any specialist and left to consult with professionals through our private insurance. I have since been diagnosed, privately, with a hemorrhage in the brain.
