"},{"text":"So I came in the other day due to heart pains and chest pains that due to a c section could have been a clot so they needed investigating I was in A&E from 2pm-12:45am with my newborn who needed feeding and changing but they expected me to change him on the floor only 2 weeks after major surgery not just that but in front of the whole of A&E and feed him in front of everyone… finally got moved to children’s A&E so I could change him and feed him there. Got sent home with no results and told to go to gp to run more investigations which I thought should have been done there considering the amount of pain I was in. Not just this but a few months ago my great nan aged 104 years old was sent to A&E and left in a bed down a corridor for 30+ hours and not allowed family with her despite having dementia and vulnerable… all alone and scared and only after we pushed our way in and saw her did they move her onto a ward straight away despite telling us they had no beds, we believe they did this to escape us complaining but this is honestly not the first time this has happened as a year ago I attempted suicide and wound up in A&E and instead of keeping me in and safe they told me to go home and take a bath which is when I then attempted suicide again that night and felt very neglected by the countess. Some money seriously needs putting back into this hospital and their emergency department"}]
