Presented to the department with breathlessness, nausea and lightheadedness due to my underlying condition. Admission was quick since I was not in the best state and struggling to stay alert.
However, I feel everything went downhill when I got through to be seen. I believe my doctor was very aggressive when asking questions about my past medical choices and history. I doubt that one bit that came out of my mouth was heard or listened to.
I was expecting to be taken care of and advice to be given but, in my opinion, nothing. Two Panamax and they called it a day. I explained to them how my medical condition affects me and how I was on the verge of passing out every single day. I was told they were sorry I feel that way before sending me home. I left the hospital crying, in pain beyond belief, no care plan, no prescriptions just passing me on to my GP and apparently forgetting I was even there. Never again.
