Anything else?
Went into a &e as a sixteen year old with renal colic (stone suffer) a & e saw me efficiently and got my onto a bed, two hours passed and still no pain releif in sight. After I asked again they finally gave me something. They did not listen to me when I said I needed fluids due to my condition. After being in a & e for fours hours I finally get too an ultrasound in which they knew nothing about my condition and I had to provide it once again. After my scan I was told I was going to a ward and should wait in the CCU seven hours later got offered no pain relief no water and no information on what the hell was going on. When a porter did come I had too wait another hour for a bed. I was totally disgusted in the way I was treated with no care in the world. Was not seen by a consultant intill three days in after arguing saying i needed fluids that the junior doctors said no too. By the time I was given them my vains were so dilated that i needed a new caniulla. I was staved for two days due to lack of information and discharge took four hours. I feel due to me being sixteen without parents I was not respected and no one told me anything about my treatment
