Plum sized prolapsed haemorrhoid (outside)

"Plum sized prolapsed haemorrhoid (outside)"

About: Armadale Hospital / Emergency Department Fiona Stanley Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Arrived about 7ish pm with number 10/10 in pain. It took 2 hours of convolutions and shaking continuously in pain for someone to give me something for it.. (had to rely on my friend to hassle the doctors and nurses before finally getting morphine). Anyway, the surgeon came in about 11:30pm... gave me a script for Tramadol and sent me home with a letter telling me to have sitz baths 3 times a day and didn't explain what it was... (I had to Google it).

The next day I was in excruciating pain so my brother took me to Armadale Hospital and they kept me in overnight and explained everything to me clearly, but most of all took my pain away.
