So, this morning, my other half phones RCH Treliske, to see about me going in today, and they have no record of me being on St Mawes Unit on Friday night, even though I was given blood tests and sent for CT scans and seen by a junior doctor! When the results of those tests came back, just before midnight on Friday, I was seen by another doctor who told me that if I wanted to sign myself out, I should come back on Monday if my symptoms persisted, so that they could get a camera down my throat to see what's going on!
After speaking to the Staff Nurse on St Mawes Unit this morning it transpires that their lounge is closed until Tuesday morning and nobody would be able to see me until then!
What a shambles!!
In the meantime, I'm in absolute agony and hardly able to consume water, let alone anything nutritious.
The moral of this story? Don't get sick in Cornwall, especially at weekends, doubly so on Bank Holidays because nobody gives a flying fig!! |
