"Sent home in pain"

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital / Accident and emergency Princess Alexandra Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I was taken in to harlow hospital by air ambulance service due to passing out with pain because of the endometriosis in my ovaries. Stayed all weekend had three seizures which one of the nurses told my child was put on. Had scans and told I need operation asap cant pass water. Cant walk in pain to a scale of 10. Harlow hospital then said that they would not do the operation because they could not find a doctor who could😬 sent me home in pain not being able to walk stand seizures care is unbelievable. Staff were rude. Ants were all over the ward. Doctor told me don't go back to the the hospital as they won't be able to treat me to stay away as I'm waiting time go to gp who sends. me to local. hospital  joke.
