Sent home as f1 doctor does not understand...

"Sent home as f1 doctor does not understand..."

About: Arrowe Park Hospital

I was rushed to a and e service excellent.

Them moved to surgical assessment ward, I was told couldn't have pain killers, as they had not got my notes from a and e , yet I was in serious pain.

I asked again and the staff were on change over.

A f1 doctor came to see me they said my bloods are fine and my x Ray was fine.

The doctor could see I was in a lot of pain, they informed me the consultant would not be in till Monday, basically the doctor though I should go home. The doctor was not interested in my letters from my professor from Manchester hospital in fact the doctor did not understand my unusual bleeding condition, the doctor was dismissive of this, and that I suffer from scar tissue.

I requested to speak to someone, a very nice kind nurse spoke to me they could see I was in pain,but due to the junior doctor being very rude and abrupt,I didn't want to stay.

The registrar was in surgery,so could not see me, I understand that they were very busy in theatre

I am now at home in a lot of pain and will wait to see my gp and STOMA nurse on Monday

This is most distressing and lack of understanding about my various conditions
