My child was bought in to the Bridgetown ED in severe pain with associated diarrhoea, extreme sweats and general malaise.
They were not give pain medication for nearly an hour and 45minute including nurse-initiated medications!
No one got them the heat pack that was requested to be given to them and they were left alone in a room hooked up to machines with chronic diarrhoea and no call bell!
I believe this is absolutely unacceptable!
No patient should ever be left without a call bell alone and in pain!
I understand it was a busy morning but basic nursing care should never be forgotten!!
Why was a phone order not gained for pain medication??
Why did my child have to wait in pain until a doctor arrived to be administered pain relief!
This should not happen in my opinion!
I have turned a blind eye on too many occasions about various incidents within this hospital over the years and I will not do this any more!!
And another thing; I believe staff should not be complaining or speaking negatively about other staff in front of patients.
So many things here that should not occur!
"My child's disgraceful visit to the ED!"
