Attended a&e at 9pm mid week. Triaged quickly and moved into a&e. Nurse looking after me didn't introduce themself. Questioned that I was telling the truth about my condition and instructed me to drink lots of water. I was vomiting uncontrollably and drinking made it worse.
The nurse struggled to take bloods and ward staff informed me the day after the bloods were never submitted onto the system, which meant I had to have more blood tests. Left me for 4hrs to wait to see a specialist Dr to get admitted to a ward for treatment. Was in a&e for 6hrs. 5th admission in the last two months and can't fault the staff on the ward but this nurse had no compassion, did not care and made me feel worse.
"A&e nurse uncaring and dismissive"
