Arrived in A&E at 11am on 17/12/18 following advice from 111 service to go to A&E within an hour. Waited 50 mins or so for triage and was told "I was bordering SEPSIS". Obs of 39.2° (temp) pulse of 131 and blood pressure 208/190. Sats of 92%. I was sent straight to Medocc where I had to wait until 18:30 to be seen and by then, feeling EXTREMELY unwell and my symptoms getting worse!!
A nurse in Medocc told me to take my paperwork back to A&E and wait for the Medics. I was then told to make my OWN WAY up to Lister Ward for further assessment despite saying how much my head hurt, feeling dizzy and feeling like I was going to pass out!! I got to Lister Ward at 19:15, where I was made to wait in a stuffy little room on hard plastic chairs until 04:30 to finally see a doctor. Totally NOT acceptable for a patient with suspected SEPSIS
"A&E, Medocc and Lister Ward"
