"Feel like I cant go back unless I have a way home"

I arrived at wishaw via ambulance and I was told I was in as may be having an ectopic, and also during my last miscarriage I was in a serious way and ended up receiving lots of blood.

When I arrived and explained my history, the midwife said to me I should not be trying for any baby and why has my doctor not told me this.  I told them as most miscarriages u bleed alot.

They left me in a room about 35 mins and only checked on my once, the doctor examined me and said to come bk in two days to see if baby will come away itself.

As my hormones never doubled and I was slightly bleeding at that time no pains but very heavy diarrhoea, I was given a smear swab and internal and blood taken etc.

I was tender and had cramps and a bit light headed after the examination.  I suggested I got a scan while there for ectopic as it  doesn't always have symptoms and that's why I was there, cause of previous pain bleeding and baby not in womb in scan .

I was told no point & to come back if get not well, sore /bleeding a lot. The midwife  said to me to go home now,  I told them I have no way of getting home. They said well we are not and don't do taxis,  and I said well I was taken in by ambulance.

I had no way of getting home as if I did, I wouldnt have needed an ambulance if had travel. I feel like they snapped at me,  and need ask for me.

 I had to sit in the room & wait, I told them when the patient travel ambulance came for me,  they told me three times don't be stuck here, don't worry at all the nhs have funding to get people home who have no transport, and make sure you use that as u have no money to get home.

 Again, I felt like the midwife  snapped at me "can't u get the bus?" I have no money,  not even bus fare, baring in mind I had just been taken in for suspected ectopic, and just informed I was miscarryin and then really tender etc after examination? !  

They then said parents? I explained they live in another country, I need not sit and justify or beg or made to feel way I did.

I already said I had no way home, it's three buses away - two hours. I had no money and no idea how they added more stress to an already stressful situation. I was upset about our loss, they then came in right "there's a taxi at the front for u goodbye" There was not sorry for you're loss or hope you're ok or nothing.

They then said to me be here for 9. 30am Wednesday.  I said I can't,  as I have no way of getting there I can't possibly go three busses with a small child,  bleeding and miscarrying. Especially with my background of fainting a lot,  infact I have been put on iron for fainting recently and extremely low blood pressure.

I was told thats when your appointment is end of. I tried to explain no bus can get me there in time, kids need put to school takes over an hour to get even by car, they shrugged shoulders.

On departing I was told if you do ever get an ambulance or a patient travel again make sure before you ever come bk here then you have a way home first,  as you won't get taxi again.  I was thinking what an insensitive person.

I feel that they were so rude, I said listen I just been told about my fourth miscarriage in a row,  I am sore, bleeding and just lost my child and you  saying about don't come in if no way bk home.  I have to sit on three busses and a lot of walking - they said "well they don't put people home".

This according to my doctor and the ambulance crew is rubbish, they understand when someone is taken in by emergency, they don't always  have shoes on let alone a purse.  

Anyway, the point is they made me feel like I was some bum and I'm not. They made it clear "do not come back if no way home again".  I have sat all night and this morning in chronic pain nothing takes it away,  nothing at all. I have contractions and im hot and sore my left side, I want to be seen in case is ectopic.

 I want to be seen so I'm ok for my kids I do have,  and I want to make sure I don't die and have internal bleeding. But as this week I don't have any funds till weekend as paid a few taxis to monklands this week. Bills, food, leccy, gas was one week.  I had no spare money, then I can't go in as they made it clear don't bother at all if can't get myself bk.

They then said do I know way out I replied no they said along and down there, they never said do you need a chair,  a hand,  me to take your bag, nothing at all.

I was brought in on an ambulance chair for gods sake I could barely walk after the internal etc I got into taxi and was sore, upset and started bleeding more.

I felt I could not go bk in or I would have been stuck there till I was paid and I have kids.
