I attended the department on the 10.10.2016. Let me first say every member of staff was amazing and I could not fault the level of care or compassion.I attended the clinic due to a abnormal severe cell smear, after working myself into such a stressful state for 9 days I was not in a good mind space when attending. I was first taken back at the walls and scratch marks and level of disorder of the leaflets planted every where about pregnancy ( am I in the correct place) they were everywhere making the place look awful ang highlighting the walls they were trying to hide. It was so busy with children and expecting mums I could not think. Whilst in there I suffered my first ever panick attack, I stood up and said to my friend I'm going to die I could not breath or hear myself think, please bare in mind I had three pregnant people looking at me like I was crazy as they just assume I was there for the same as them. It took me about ten minutes to regulate my breathing whilst the whole time I was being stared at by families and children, the staff came to me and were lovely a credit to the department and told me the doctor won't be long. My reason for sharing my experience is I was really stressed out in the clinic and felt I was in the wrong environment as to my visit. I really hope my views are taking how they are meant, to highlight how I felt, pregnant women and women worried sick are an odd combination to pull together.
"Amazing staff chaotic environment"
