"Disgusting"

About: Princess Royal University Hospital (Orpington)

I am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant and came into A&E due to suffering agonising abdominal pains, there was no urgency about anything,l I had to use the toilet and there was urine all over the floor, there was a drunk man starting arguments in the packed waiting room with people just waiting to be seen and yet despite all the calls for security, a man with a walkie talkie just sauntered on in and did nothing to stop this drunk man and let let him pass out over 3 chairs and left old people left to stand. There was a women screaming in agony amongst all of us and staff was just staring at her until it got so bad she got removed from the waiting room. After 2 1/2 hours I finally saw a doctor who did not take a urine sample or blood test like I was told they would, he was incredibly patronizing, he took great pleasure in correcting every little thing I said, he did not seem bothered and just wanted me out of their as soon as possible. I think I am registered to give birth at this hospital but I will be changing that immediately I never want to come back here again.
