I had to go to the Royal because of a severe pain from my hip to my ankle.The severity of the pain caused nausea ,cold sweats and I was disoriented.No matter how I sat or lay I couldnt lose the pain.The pain was so bad that I made the effort to go to the Royal at 4am Saturday morning.Not able to sleep because of the severity of the pain,going to the Royal gave me hope but this was soon dashed.The first thing the nurse said was why did I not go to my own GP.Three days with no sleep, I told them that I had come for some pain relief so I can get some sleep.I asked the nurse if they could prescribe me some pain relief they said you can buy this over the counter. I was desperate and came for help but was turned away.
"Pain relief."
