I arrived to the hospital by ambulance, I am younger than the OAP age and in my late 30s, I unfortunately have a heart condition, which sparked off a very bad experience at home to which 1st response was with me until the paramedics arrived, total 5 people to help me as I was seriously unwell. Unfortunately my GP prescribed a drug that should never of been prescribed as it was contradicting the other drugs I was on (legal prescribed) which at home caused me to pass out, throw up and be dizzy throughout the whole day, best thing as per paramedics, if I continued to take this I could of gone intl cardiac arrest. So that's the breakdown!
I arrived and was sitting in the hallway facing the A&E team at the hospital, bare in mind my notes where just given to them, now let me remind the A&E team, I could hear you slagging me off, I could hear everything you said but little did you know once I saw the doctor, he said the same thing do not take this medication it with everything else could of killed you.
I was in a bed with a high blood pressure for me, and told to get out of the bed and sit in a chair, bare in mind I told the paramedics my head is lightheaded etc the same I felt at home before I passed out, but hey the A&E staff wanted to say "he does know this is a hospital" the lack of compassion from the staff was a disgrace!! Be ashamed of yourselfs it was only the day staff who finished at 8pm. The evening staff where lovely and friendly, the doctor was excellent and apologised I was sent to the waiting room as I should of been seen straight away, (again cheers to the day staff, for putting me in a bad condition)
"I'm here in ambulance bed, to be slagged off for…"
