Just to pass the time, as I'm in hospital on a ward and can't sleep. I started with shortness of breath and what felt like pleurisy 8 day's ago, dr's confirmed pleurisy and said it was a viral chest infection. That was Tuesday I was given a steroid inhaler, it helped a little.
Then Wednesday i woke up and brought up a blood clot and had shooting pain through my shoulder and was struggling to catch my breath. Phoned 111 who said it was a heart attack and sent an ambulance, checked me over, my oxygen levels were good, likewise my heart trace, paramedic told me I had health anxiety, thren they left. Still felt awful but the paramedic put me off going back to drs until today. Same at dr's today they heard nothing on my lungs but had took pics of what I'd been bringing up and they sent me straight to hospital. ECG was done and was fine chest x-ray showed shadow on my left lung. Dr said I needed a cat scan but as I'm pregnant he needed to talk the consultant. Consultant says antibiotics and if no change then I'll the have a scan tomorrow. Then I was left for hours.,without been given antibiotics .Then I've been moved to a ward no longer need blood thinners and I'm being told it's pneumonia by a nurse.

I'm still in hospital DVT in one leg and the other is a superficial clot. Chest pain died off after starting IV antibiotics but I've only had 2 doses, 3rd stopped so I I could go for a scan. When I came back and nurse restarted the cannula and it failed .
They decided to change to oral but then never give me any. The staff have been awful on the day shift, no one answered my buzzer, ignored me when I went out and asked for help for another patient. After waiting hrs to be discharged and get meds(which hasn't happened) the nurse ignored me and mimicked the patient she'd been with. Another staff member who had been lovely and helped when they were on my ward, said the staff were lazy today, they'd never stopped as all standing around chatting they and called them lazy bastard's.
I feel asleep waiting to be discharged and woke up feeling ill and the pain was back and my breathing was tight again, I'm being kept in to be monitored and started back on antibiotics thankfully and had some blood thinners.

That's shocking. You should have had better care.

I agree I wasn't impressed with staff today, I'm the morning before shift and after shift change have been lovely though. Also forgot that we hen I was told about blood clots it was a Dr i hadn't had any interaction with. I had seen him with other patients, he came to the door of the ward and shouted you've got blood clots and need thinners and walked away. Tbh I kind of found his delivery funny but I'm not sure many would take it as well being told like that.
