I have been admitted twice to A&E
1. Walk in patient (wheelchair as unable to walk) I was assessed and given morphine, coedine and diclofenic, but was told it was just my pain that had increased and was discharged at 3 am in the morning after telling them my husband probably couldn’t collect me they said we’ll ring you a taxi 😡! Sent home with 3 days diazepam.
2. Admitted again but through a referral from out of hours GP who were (brilliant), taken by ambulance (brilliant). I was admitted to a different part of A&E, again assessed, given morphine, coedamol and diclofenic. I was left for a couple of hours and then asked how pain was (I was still not able to stand), I was given intravenous paracetamol and diazepam.
I was then told I would be going home and a porter was coming for me, I advised them I couldn’t contact my husband till 8 am (now 5am), I was told I would be put in A&E waiting room till then in a wheelchair. I am now on my 3rd day of excruciating pain and unable to get upstairs or feed myself and don’t know what else I can do but feel disgusted with the attitude of some of the A&E staff.
