"Extremely unhappy and shocked with what has..."

About: Newham General Hospital

My usual maternity care was at royal london, however my local hospital is newham hospital. I went to A+E over a week ago at newham when I started getting problems. I waited over 4 hours to be told as soon as I walked through the door that I would not be getting a scan. Today at royal london at my 12 week scan, I was told I have had a miscarriage. The member of staff told me that should not have happened at Newham, especially as it is all part of Bart Health. I am in total shock and devastation with the news. I knew I should have pushed for a scan but the doctor dismissed this idea immediately and said it would not be available as they do not offer scans? How stupid do I feel now.
