This might be a long but keep with it & see what you can make of todays hospital/doctor saga
Late on last night & into the early hours my guts started playing up badly again, it normally goes off after an hour or two so I suffered until 5.30am then nodded off for a while ...... this meant I missed my blood test appointment at 7am so phoned the docs shortly after that only to be told tough the next appointment you can make is 3 weeks on Friday for bloods & you cant see a doc until this Friday am unless you can walk in before 9pm .....click as the phone goes down
Being a stubborn git I hung on until it got until I couldn't stand it anymore then got myself up to the local hospital walk in centre only to be told we are just nurses & cant treat you as there are no doctors here but will do observations .... then it got interesting as I was rolling about on the floor in agony ....... a nurse called 111 to get a doc , he came an hour later & I was moved to another room which they rent from the hospital apparently he decided I needed to be in hospital .......... hang on a minute thinks me, where the feck am I now ? honestly it was surreal when the doc called an ambulance & I was eventually taken to another hospital ......
6pm this evening after god knows how many hours in A&E I was taken to a ward waiting room, I was feeling a lot better by now despite having no treatment whatsoever so mentioned to the nurses that I hadn't eaten since 5.30 last night & had only had 2 cups of coffee in the morning so wondered if it was ok to nip to the machine for a bag of crisps or something ..... the uppity bitch right got her tights in a twist at that "you cant eat until you have seen the doctor!" .... he is here & will be with you in 5 minutes ! .... you are his first patient! ...yeah right!
An hour & 20 minutes later after the doc had been & fetched 2 other patients from the waiting room I upped & walked out to get some food & a drink before I passed out ....... feeling much better after that I kept on walking because if I had gone back I'm sure I would have nutted someone
I have been suffering this same complaint for over a year now, had all the tests asked of me & have been on time for every one, treatment has so far in all that time has consisted of 2 co-codomol ........ ...............................NHS at its finest?
