i was taken to furness general hospital in mid september 2009 at 18:55 hrs suffering with head injury, i was left unconscious in the A & E waiting area without being looked at in a wheelchair, when i regained consciousness i had to wait another 2hrs in the A & E before seeing a nurse,
i then had to wait another 2 hrs before seeing a doctor, when i saw the doctor I don’t feel that they checked me properly regarding my severe head injury, and only offered me paracetamol tab, and 2 metformin tabs for my diabetes,
i was discharged from the hospital and not kept in for observation for concussion,
i found my experience to be of low nursing care, it has been 1 week today since my incident my head is still badly bruised and I’m suffering with nausea and headaches ,
i have phoned the PALS at furness general and left a message that was 5 days ago no one has been in touch with me
it would of been quicker to go to lourdes in france
"poor care for head injury"
