"Worst ever hospital experience"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary

If I knew the names of the nurses that spoke rudely to me I would mention them! The paramedics were lovely had no problem with them whatsoever. As soon I came into the A&E department I was rather confused as to why I was left in the hallway...because apparently there were no rooms. Surprise surprise! I had a splitting headache, i was itching like crazy., my body was full of rash my temperature dropped significantly. I went then put in a room for about an hour and then moved to a monitor room. The doctor was nice, the nurses had absolutely no idea what was wrong with me...i felt as though i was kicked out of the hospital bed without me having made my own decision to leave. I still wasnt 100% well, but from what I understood. My bed had to be given to someone else and I "looked ok" and it was time for me to go home.
