"Absolutely shocking!!!"

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / Accident and emergency

Absolutely shocking hospital, extremely under-staffed, think I saw one doctor at A&E the rest were sisters. I got stung by a sea creature I couldn’t identify, called 111, they advised me to go in because of the symptoms I was experiencing.

The sister made it seem like I was lying, to the point where I had to ask her did she want to see pictures of the injury when it occurred. I did my own research & a blood test was supposed to be taken Incase what stung me was poisonous. Now I’m at home in pain, , nausea, can’t eat anything because it makes me feel sick straight away. It scary to think with that attitude how many people does she actually turn away that need help, what if I had sepsis. That experience was beyond dehumanizing & brings me to tears thinking about it.
