"horrible!"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I was brought to urgent care by a transport ambulance as my left side went weak, I had a left sided headache, I had really bad dizziness and I had bad sickness. In December 2015 I was admitted fot 5 days and was discharged on christmas eve with the same thing but the dizziness or sickness wasn't as bad as it was on Sunday night, I felt I was going to pass out and throw up. My left ear popped and I couldn't hear anything about of it. I got called into the assessment room where I got my blood pressure and blood oxygen levels done by a really lovely person, I got given 2 paracetamol's and 1codine tablet. I got sent back out to see the doctor when they were available. I also have a under active thyroid and last time I was in my thyroid hormone levels were 6 and apparently its ment to be somewhere in the 20s? That was done by a blood test which I never had done neither an ECG. I felt like I was being treat wrong by the doctor I saw and just ignored. I got sent home still with a left weak side, bad dizziness, bad sickness and a really bad head! I got told to go to the receptionist and ask for the ambulance transport to take me back home and so I did and the receptionist was really really rude! I have eupd so it really effected me by what they said and it still does.
