"my non bowel movement for 6 days"

About: Noarlunga Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I presented at around 10.15am, waited over 5 hours and still no extraction or enema, just blood tests and a cannula inserted for a possible cat scan, my constipation was not adressed, triage and nurses i saw were amazing, however the stress of not simply an enema or extraction has traumatised me, do the staff have a problem dealing with faeces when they are qualified. If I had gone to another service and they were busy I understand they would have cab vouchered me to super centre at Marion, I am totally disgusted as I fly overseas tomorrow.
