"Terrible"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary

i went on Monday with terrible pain in the side of my face, to be told I had Neouroglia and advised to triple the dosage I was on - I then went back today (4 days later) with excruciating pain which I was crying and was leaving my paralysed at times. The GP barely looked at me, suggested I go to the dentist and done absolutely nothing regarding the pain, wasted 2 hours of my life to be pushed a side with no result as it isn’t a dental problem! Will never ever use this department again, absolutely shocking.
