I was pushed to the back of the queue, put on a ward waiting for Drs to come & give me a plan of action everyday however that did not happen. Everyday at the end of the day, a different dr came to see me and told me something different to the previous dr. No one gave me one answer and no plan if action with regards to diagnosis or treatment. They did not know what they were looking for. I went in for stomach pains but got told I was being kept in due to my heamoglobin levels being really low and that they would contact the Heamotologist in Hull the next morning to see if i needed a blood transfusion however that did not happen & another Dr mentioned I needed an iron infusion so not sure what their plan was as I was not informed of anything further on this matter. I also had a scan which was requested by one of the surgeons to check for my appendix but as i am pregnant the appendix wasnt identified so the Dr came after my scan to say i could get discharged and continue with antibiotics at home & come back on monday for a blood test but they just needed to run the report past the surgeon. I waited all day for this, chasing the drs & midwifes up only to find out that the drs had left. So as i wasn't being treated for my other symptoms or diagnosis except for infection, i decided to self discharge as i was being pushed around & i have 2 little ones at home also.

I could have received consistent care & treatment & been made aware of my plan for treatments for all of my diagnosis and not made to wait around for days for different doctors to give me different answers.
