OH FOR F****S SAKE WORCS NHS! Dr rushed me to
Worcester Hospital in an ambulance last night for them
to do an urgent brain scan cos it appears as if I've had a
stroke. I explained I'd got no money, no phone and no
meds on me and I have no transport to get back home
from 30 miles away...but they absolutely insisted I went to
Worcester in the ambulance. It was like a biblical 3rd
World disaster! Literally beds all the way thru A&E all
backed up along reception out through the double doors
and into the car park! Three women giving birth in the
corridor: Elderly people in the cold doorway in nighties.
Chaos! I was kept there for 3hrs on a trolley couldn’t get
to a toilet or even get a cup of water. No water for 3hrs is
pretty bad for me.

Finally, a Doctor came to see me and told me they'd got
my blood test results and my scan and I said I thought
that was highly unlikely as they hadn't done any blood
tests nor had they done a scan and he said "Oh so you
aren't Mrs such-n-such? I've got the wrong patient." off
he ran leaving me in the increasingly choc full corridor
for another 2 hours.... Finally, a rushed miserable Dr
came to me, did a couple of neuro tests (like touch your
nose, walk in a straight line etc.) most of which I couldn't
do. Then she said "you can just go home now" and
started to walk off WTF?! However much I pleaded and
protested she couldn't give a shit, told me to go home
