"ignored to give medicine"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary

Hello. I had a very bad experience during my hospital admission. Actually I was admitted for perianal infection and painful bottom. I was in pain and feeling sick. From 20 PM till now morning 8 am, I asked anti sickness and painkiller. I was ignored and left without treatment. Also I am known to have asthma allergy and depression / anxiety. I told the nurse I need my usual medicine if I dont have I experience withdraw symptoms. I was not given any medication. I have been suffering with severe pain, twitching' itching all night, chest tightness, nausea and withdraw symp from sertraline. I m still short of breath no one is giving me any medicine. I called for help 7 times. Evrytime I was told "I understand you are in trouble but doctor hasn't singed the drug card". I waited for my med for 12 hours and still waiting.....
