Taken to my local hosp at 5pm yest by ambo, my son found me rooted to the spot , could not take a full breath in too much pain. The pain in my right ribs so crapping bad, like labour pains, full blown, no stranger to pain as have had major brain surgery.
Ambo arrived put on gas and air whilst doing checks.
Got to hosp calling out in pain, put on chair in corridor, dr came, said be with u in x2 mins.....hours later still on chair!
Finally moved to cubicle, x2 nurses, one with severe cough!! To back track Im bladder incontinent as result of my brain tumour and waiting for surgery, asked to go to toilet....told not allowed they too busy, explained, got shouted at by cough nurse, Went anyway!
Just came home, pain now just tender, been on gas @ air all night but no dr!!!!!!!!!!! Have disgharged myself as single mum with x3 dc and no family.
Not gallstones...had scan, have kidney stones, under gastro but bloody useless but waiting for exam.

That sounds terrible. Contact PALS at first course of action -the shouty nurse was really unprofessional.

sounds like the usual story - under resourced, over busy. Nurse with cough probably dragged herself in knowing situation even worse i.e no one to cover if she didn't go in. Not making light of your experience mind but can see the wider picture.
