"Emergency patient for appendicitis"

About: Lyell McEwin Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Sent to Lyell McEwan in early 2021. Told would be a priority. In my opinion, what a joke! Arrived 2pm in the afternoon. Waited and waited and waited for anyone to  help.

Was found a bed early hours the next day which I  had to give up for other patients who I understand had had a fight. Appendix removed later the next day after it had burst. Lost 12 kilos in 3 days because it seems no one checked to see if given correct medications! Type 2 diabetic and was being given tablet and insulin! Was made to wear what I feel were filthy stockings that to this day I am dealing with very itchy and painful rashes on my legs.
