I went to the emergency department with bleeding and cramps (I was 6 weeks pregnant). It took me an hour to get through to just sit in a waiting room for 3 hours. The doctor drew some blood and told me they were testing my rhesus and not my beta-HCG because they told me it wasn’t relevant. The doctor also told me I would not receive an ultrasound, which I believe I should have received. I miscarried a few days later.
I understand that the doctors can’t do anything to stop a miscarriage but I still believe I should have received an ultrasound.
I had a scan at the gynaecology clinic a few days later and they told me I had miscarried. The doctor I spoke to after the exam was, I felt, incredibly uncaring and had terrible bedside manner. I was visibly upset and I received no empathy from them whatsoever.
I am incredibly disappointed with this hospital and feel I will never go there again.
