"Poor time management and triaging allocation"

I am a chronic long term patient who has endometriosis, adenomyosis, cysts and pelvic pain. I go to king Edward emergency room almost weekly sometimes. The last time I went the wait was 7-9 hours and I wasn’t offered any pain relief or anything as I was in excruciating pain the midwives on the triage desk wouldn’t even let me use the inside toilet after they had asked for my urine sample.

Based on my experience I feel that King Edward emergency department treated me as a gynaecology patient horribly. The midwives I have seen in the emergency department are, in my opinion, rude and dismissive. I believe they put pregnant patients who have no signs of anything apparently wrong first and made me wait 7-9 sometimes 10 hours. I feel they are very slow to do anything and only have 1 doctor on at night for the ward and emergency department which I think is absolutely ridiculous.

I ended up discharging myself and came home to find I was bleeding heavily this morning. Based on my experience I think this hospital is an absolute joke and a nightmare. I think that something needs to be done as it seems and nobody cares. Enough is enough, the apparent lack of respect is bad enough. I’m having to go to a GP as my gynaecologist isn’t readily available and is a very popular person and doesn’t work at night time so what else am I supposed to do.
