this is an example of how dire and uncaring the hospital is. as a starter, when i was in a &e a year or so ago, i was seated on a chair for 8 hours suffering badly but then decided that i had to get out as nobody was taking any notice. the next day i was in the mater general , diagnosed with severe sepis and operated on the next day.but this complaint is about the treatment of my grandaughter who is a special needs girl of 17.she was sent home from school with sever abdominal pains. a visit to local doctor diagnosed suspected appendicitis and she was taken to beaumont at 1600. apart from taking bloods at some time in the evening, she was told to wait. she sat with her mother on the hard plastic chairs in a &e. she was there from 1600 until nearly 1200 the following day ! was not even provided with a blanket. this is a young girl with sever pain, and a girl who cannot even get through a day without a long sleep. she could not sleep and was not allowed to eat or drink. she did not have a moments sleep. she eventually had an x ray at around 1200 and a ct scan. nothing was found at at around 2300, she was allowed to go home, still in pain.all attempts by her mother to get some attention etc were brushed off brusquely. when she finally got a trolley she was below a bright light....and one of her problems is that she is epileptic . her mother kept warning the doctors that she would have a fit, and indeed, she had TWO, one of them quite severe.overall, the treatment was nothing short of scandalous and it is a sorry sight of our health system.i doubt anybody will see this and this abuse of a special needs patient will still continue.
