My experience in A&E

"My experience in A&E"

About: Medway Maritime Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as a parent/guardian),

Nurse asked my son (who has damaged his neck) how much pain he was in from 0-10. He says 9/10 but has not shown any signs of pain or cried or anything. No trouble sleeping. My worry is his worsening restriction of movement may not be muscular. Nurse glared at me and asks why I haven't given my son any painkillers with a very judgemental tone. So she takes the word of a child over a parent.
