A and e
I visted a and e on the 15th of July 2016 with a severe muscle spasm in my left shoulder which left me in horrendous pain it couldn't be moved, as I waited to be seen the pain relief Id had before had given me no relief ( prescribed by the doctor that morning who'd advised me to visit a and e due to the amount of pain I was in) my mum asked the reception if I could get some pain relief as I waited as I was in tears from the pain and it was just escalating, she told me to visit the triage desk and ask I went down and they told me to take a seat and they'd get some a nurse then returned and asked if I'd ever discalated my shoulder I said no and he disappeared they then took me round to resuss the pain was just getting worse when a doctor came dr asked what I'd done ad I said I don't know I haven't hit it on anything to this he started shouting saying I thought you'd dislocalated your shoulder there's people dying and your crying how old are you?, at this time I couldn't feel more degraded I hadn't asked to be seen I just asked for some pain relief he went on to say I've got people to treat who's had a heart attack and you've come in here there's a wait you know? .... I never once asked to be seen just for some pain relief my sister is a paramedic so I know you don't visit a and e for nothing the codeine tablets I was prescribed didn't help the pain and I was reluctant to even visit the hospital but I was unable to physically lay down with the excruciating pain I was in. I've never felt so embarrassed and upset to be spoke to like that I pay taxes I work and get spoke to like I didn't even matter and like I was a nuisance I was heartbroken to think people may have thought that I was a pain, however the nurses told me I was well in my rights as I was in so much pain, the doctor should be ashamed of himself he's getting paid to tread people not demoralise and make them feel worthless!
