"Awful"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus

What I liked

I was seen quite quickly and very one seems nice and friendly.

What could be improved

I could have been informed as of what the doctor was testing for! I could have been told that maybe they might know what was wrong with me! The doctor I saw just questioned my sexual health! I didn't know STI's could cause so much pain!!!

Anything else?

I was in complete agony, even after receiving pain killers and I told the doctor but he didn’t seem to want to listen to me and sent me on my way. I could hardly walk and as it turned out I had ruptured and burst ovarian cysts. He told me to go home!

I was in a lot of pain so I was crying and I got the impression he thought I was a drama queen and that there was nothing really wrong with me!

I hobbled out of A&E in absolute agony got in my car and drove home. I don’t even know what pain killers I was given. My doctor informs me the next day it could have been morphine!!!

I wish I hadn’t of bothered going but I had no choice as my boss sent me after I doubled over in pain at work.

I'd not bother going again, I don't see the point. It just makes you feel worse.

I still can't believe I was sent home! It's unbelievable really.
