"no help complete agony fvor 4 days READ THIS"

About: St Richard's Hospital

Working nearby and split tooth on a friday afternoon. Absolute agony. 111NHS told me to go to St Richards where they have emergency facilities. Denied access due to not being a 'local resident'.

Denied any help at all and told maybe I could go to Asdas and get a temporary dental repair kit from the shampoo and feminine hygeine asile.

I am not joking, i have it in writing.. From 4pm in the afternoon on friday 6th oct until 3.30am the next saturday morning..

Very very upset. Continued in agony all over the weekend rocking holding my face.

Couldnt eat or drink or sleep.

Now have huge infection/abcess under tooth.

Nobody helped, nobody cared. Discriminated against.
