Was admitted to A&E after being attacked. Transpired I had a badly broken nose and broken cheek along with swelling to the brain. After 10hrs in A&E where I was checked hourly was transferred to Ward 12 AAU where I spent a further 4hrs with no check up in the entire time there excluding when I was first admitted.
Throughout I did not once see the consultant in charge of my care and hence discharged myself due to the complete lack of care and attention knowing I would be better looked after at home by my wife.
3 days later and I am now being told that due to discharging myself no referrals to a face specialist re my injuries have been made and I need to see my GP. To understate this it is a joke and despicable that a service paid for by the people can be so poor and people serving it be so unhelpful (minority not majority).
