Brought in by ambulance at 1:50 to be left in the waiting room till 1:45 before anything is done in serve pain to be told at 3:30 if pain doesn't improve to come back therefore i was discharged.
Was back by 1:30 the following afternoon, pain is worse, can't keep nothing down to be left in the waiting room till 2 o'clock in the night to be told go to SDEC in the morning at 8 still pain is no easier still being sick, get to SDEC to be seen all over again to be told you have got to have a CT scan, have that done despite not allowed to have any more results weren't given and told to come back on the Friday, pain is still no better and sickness is still there.
Came back to A&E on the Thursday night due to pain to literally sign in and be called by the doctor to say there is nothing we can do here in A&E tonight and to go home.
Went to SDEC in the morning of the Friday to be seen all over again, bloods and everything was retaken to speak to the doctors for them to say there was fluid on the CT scan and that a lumbar puncture is needed, can we check the eyes unfortunately they couldn't see the back of the one eye which they were trying to see so we're concerned at the age of 21 this is not what you want to be told, had procedure done to be left waiting on edge for 7 hours for results even after them saying results take 4-6 hours, every time we ask only two are back out of the 4 still in serve pain, doctor finally come back and says nothing concerning going on go home and come back if not better .
A whole week of suffering and still in severe pain, painkiller aren't helping and pain is getting worse. What am I supposed to do when they just keep sending me home saying come back if no better the pain is worse?
