"Still waiting......."

I was admitted to A&E majors lite on Monday 5th November at 7pm, sent by my gp for suspected appendicitis. After waiting 4.5 hours I was finally seen by a doctor and transferred to the surgical assessment unit for surgery. On arrival the surgeon was not satisfied my symptoms were appendix related so sent me for an ultrasound at 9.45am the following morning! I was given two paracetamol throughout the entire time.

I was then diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and sent home.

My pain has worsened and so under gp referral again I am back at queens, this time today 8th November I arrived at 1.30pm, sat in majors lite until 6pm before a doctor transferred me to the gynae A&E unit regarding my cyst again, without even examining me! I have been offered no pain relief even when telling the doctor my pain level is 8/9 out of 10!

I now have to sit here to be seen, and the waiting time is a further 4 hours!

It’s absolutely obserd the way I have been ignored. God forbid this is actually an appendicitis and it bursts!

I cannot understand why I was made to wait in majors lite all afternoon and now have to wait on cornflower unit, it’s a joke. Nobody has checked on me, I have had nothing to eat and I’m severe pain!

I was ignored on Tuesday when I said ovarian cysts are not this painful as I have had them before, my whole stomach is swollen, severe pain all over my abdomen and raised temperature. Gp thinks appendicitis or gallstones, but A&E doctors couldn’t care less!
