I presented myself (in my 80s) to the Hospital with persistent pain in the left kidney area. Sneezing/coughing painful. A grinding sharp noise when I turned around. Last month, arrived before 10 am. Was seen by a doctor, blood sample and urine taken. Back in waiting area for 3 hours.
Called in and after a while seen by a "Consultant" Probed my also tender underbelly -short discussion with the Doctor - not with me and left. After 3 hours sitting in the examination room I was asked by a nurse what I am waiting for. "I do not know!"
The nurse came back - you get a CT scan and put me in a waiting room >for 7 hours. Late that night I was seen by a Doctor. I can go home --they do not have the CT results.
Now to today (at the time of writing this): after continuous pain and full of oxycodone, another urine test> UTI ..medication for 7 days. Still Back pain and now found out that the hospital took CT of lumbar area. New CT showed i had two broken rips! An aE_Coli infection. It takes 2 months to find broken rips ! Because the doctors seemingly do not listen. Still in pain and on anti biotics, palexia dn Panadol with oxicodone. Tonight back on white wine. This is now the second time I was wrongly diagnosed and treated I made feedback
"No diagnosis/wrong diagnosis and care"
