"Sent home"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

I was sent home by a doctor i had not eaten for 2 weeks i was bleeding i could just walk i was being sick my heart rate was 167bpm , he was very rude and asked why i had come here? Well he sent me home and 3 days later i was rushed in for emergency surgery and had my large bowel removed and was in ICU. If it was not for this so called doctor i would still have my bowel and not have to live with a ileostomy for the rest of my life. I wish i had gone down the lines of taken him to court, no money could bring back my health but it would have got him knock of his very high horse.
