I was sent in as a emergency when blood pressure went to 45/25
They didn't take in to consideration my previous health from which I had 100% brilliant care at the northern .
They took my medication of me for a few days when you can't go cold turkey on them.Changed my heart medication and when I was leaving I had my 7 day pill box all sorted and they emptied them in the bin now leaving me shor over Christmas.
One nurse put a drip on me i told her it was leaking she said not and all my arm and vein blew up and tasted it in my mouth she took it out blood was every where she asked my husband to press on my arm as she had no tape on her.I was in constant pain so awful and only given paracetamol.
I was told I could go home by a main doctor but nurse said I could not as they was waiting for a blood test when I never had one.My immune system is also low and I was put on a ward where they had flu and chest infection I didn't eat for 3 days as so poorly but kept giving me ibuprofen when I had no food and hadn't been allowed that since heart failure.
"Amu ward awful"
