My daughter was assessed by the ambulance at 22h00 and a 1.30am dr. appointment at Leighton was arranged as she was too ill to sit in a waiting room for hours.
On seeing her at 1.30am, the gp said she needed to be admitted under observation and scanned as well as having a drip administered as she was dehydrating through vomiting 19 hours straight with pain.
The nurse at A&E could not find a vein so there was no relief for my child. I asked for an ante nausea/pain injection for her to give some relief and was told we don't do that.
Four hours later I asked what the delay was..(we had also been stuck in a cubicle and ignored).I was told my daughter had to wait another 3 hours (minimum providing no more ambulances arrived),she was not being admitted and was not even on the list for a scan.
A very bored nurse did inform me after I asked, that there was only blood and protein in her urine.
Their manner was most dismissive.
Disgusted..I am still nursing her at home where she has not left her bed in 6 days.
"horrified"
