"Laughing at pregnant women"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)

Anything else?

I visited a&e this evening on the advice of the Early Pregnancy Unit due to a suspected miscarriage. I have a scan booked for tomorrow but a horrible turn of events made our situation more pressing. In my extremely distressed state I was dealt with by a doctor with incorrect notes who laughed at me and asked 'why can't u wait until tomorrow' I was told no one would scan me and taking bloods would be pointless. They told me to go home and take Co-codamol.....Not recommended at all in pregnancy. I am appalled shocked and left with no one to help me.
