Rockingham hospital. I was 27 weeks pregnant, type 2 diabetes and Covid positive. After being told to urgently get to hospital via health direct due to complications and serious concerns for health of myself and baby, I arrived to be placed in a very cold tent even though I told your staff I'm covid positive. Then placed in a separate area where I recall there was no toilet, no water, no staff and no beds available. My blood sugars were low. I waited for 2 hours and in that time observations were not carried out, we were put aside and told there were no beds. I was distressed, in pain and could not sit up any longer.
In my opinion, disgusting how a pregnant lady with many underlying conditions was seemingly left. I was still very very ill, had bronchitis and fever and tell me; where do I go now, sit at home with no help, no information, no care, no support. Based on my experience, absolutely disgusting lack of care and support offered by the medical system.
