"Stunned at the lack of empathy in such a distressing time"

I called Abroath maternity unit just over a week ago as I was pregnant and I had started bleeding. The staff member who I spoke to didn't ask me many questions, never asked if I was in pain and proceeded to tell me to "put a sanitary towel on & take a pregnancy test in two weeks" I was understandably upset and she must of realised that from the phone call.

I couldn't believe her unprofessionally uncaring matter of fact attitude was and I was completely stunned at her lack of empathy in such a distressing time. For all she knew I could of been going though an ectopic pregnancy but she never asked any relevant questions to establish my symptoms.

In the end I unfortunately had a miscarriage on Wednesday. I know they couldn't of done anything but the next time it could be more serious & someone may lose more than there baby next time, which is heart breaking enough.

I'll never ever use Arbroath maternity unit again, if I'm lucky enough to have a baby, I believe my life could of been at risk because of the lack of interest in my terrible situation.  I thought this was a disgusting attitude from a professional, I was in floods of tears and she was rude blunt and very uncaring.
