"I am on a lot of meds. The doc ..."

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow)

(as the patient),

Anything else?

I am on a lot of meds. The doc wrote them down incorrectly in a&e, so on the ward i was denied important drugs. I was left throwing up for 5 hours because a nurse would not open my locked draw so i could take my own antisickness drugs and others that i brought in. This was magnified when the pharmasy threw some of my drugs away as they thought i didnt need them including a new diabetic drug i had only just started on. They then had none in stock to send me home with on discharge. This was several meds not just 1. I ended up much sicker than when i went in through lack of meds and stress. I have been in pah several times and it has always been excellent in the past.
