"A &E"

About: Arrowe Park Hospital

I was taken to a&e with a herniated disc which caused severe referred pain in my leg. I was given some tablets which helped and from there I was moved to a side ward.i told stsff my gp at home already perscribed strong pain killers they said they would order these from pharmacy but by monday they hadnt arrived so I was given paracetomol and crutches but walking was excruciatingly painful. During the night I asked a nurse to brinh a wheel chair to take me to the toilet she refused saying its time you walked on crutches which I had to do and really suffered. I didnt feel ss though I was treated with much care and compassion.
