"Unpleasant experience"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary

I attended A&E for the first time on 7th may 2014 and when I went In I was fairly happy with how they treat me my abdominal pain was looked At and investigated thoroughly and the doctor referred me to the garyncologist , however after visiting the garyncologist I was told there was nothing wrong on that side of things and if the pain continued to back to See my GP, so the next day I went to see my GP who could tell I was in alot of pain and told me to go back to A&E so I did. When I got there I waited an hour to see the triage nurse who did the usual routine checks made me do a urine sample and then said the doctor would be with me shortly... 2 hours later I was still waiting and I could see people who came in well after me going in and out of A&E so I went to ask when it was my turn and they had no record of me on the system !! I was then told I would be next to see the doctor which I was.... But this is where my experience got worse. The doctor examined me and even though I was crying in pain and agony still after taking pain killers the doctor did nothing for me. She felt i was not in enough pain to have an ultrasound to see what was going on, she then said if I wanted to be admitted I can be but she couldn't garantee I would get scanned !! So in the end she sent me home with some tramadol and said if it gets worse my GP has to arrange a scan for me.... Never will I use the A&E service again the doctor showed no empathy what so ever
