After being taken into the department on 16/02,I can only describe the department as shambles.
I went in after a bad head injury and told the nurse I needed a wee and she came in and put a sample pot on my bed and said we need a sample.
I couldn’t even stand up by myself, as I was leaving the room another nurse cane to give me some pain relief and just gave me morphine and put me back on the bed.
She got me a bed pan and I was left with this for 30 minutes before anyone removed it.
I pressed the buzzer again later for more pain relief and it took them 20 minutes to come to my room.
I had a ct scan and waited for my results 40 minutes later a nurse came in and took my blood pressure and said you can go home.
No follow up, no seeing the doctor, no aftercare.
I left the department hardly being able to stand and feeling very un well.
The nurse who told me to go didn’t care, I told her my left side didn’t feel right but she didn’t make any comment apart from you can go.
Great care
