To be pissed off with my experience at the hospital

I need to rant, my dd did something to her leg last night just seemed to twist it really, but she was in real pain and had a bit of a funny turn, dizzy, clammy etc, anyway she recovered but her leg was still sore but no swelling or bruising. This morning she still felt funny walking on it so I said u better stay at home we’ll keep an eye on it and take u Drs if gets worse. So then later on in the day she got up to go the loo, when she came back she had another funny turn, and said her leg really hurt! So I rang the Drs, they said to go to the hospital as it needed an X-ray. So off I go knowing I was in for a long wait, 3 hrs later a dr who hardly examined her, told me there was nothing wrong with her, they don’t X-ray that sort of thing and the fainting was unrelated 🤔. I explained again that every time she walked on it she went funny! They did some obs and sent us home! I so annoyed at his attitude I know they’re busy and the NHS is stretched but I feel really let down and haven’t a clue what’s wrong with her. To make it worse her dad (who is my ex) is moaning at me for not doing enough, and my current partner just thinks she’s been exaggerating for a day off school! Neither is helpful and I feel so annoyed and let down. Would you?

Well I understand they are human and make mistakes and they were busy etc etc. But it was just how he was with me and the words he used ‘ this is an emergency dept, all I see is a healthy young girl with nothing wrong with her. We don’t X-ray that it’s muscular and the fainting has got nothing to do with it. Go to your GP!!!!! ‘ I was fuming! At least now we know and the last dr we saw was so much better, he could see she was in pain and even when the first X-ray showed nothing he sent her back for another one, he had a feeling too! I could of kissed him lol

Lol, and while I’m here, I’m annoyed at her dad too, we’re not together she seems him every other weekend and occasionally in the week, he knew about it and she was at his last weekend he had her begrudgingly because they couldn’t do anything and he had to look after her, since Sunday he’s not text her or me. Thanks for the support me ex!!! My dp hasn’t been that great either, he thinks she should of gone in to school 😤. Men!!!!
