Original Feedback for James Paget Hospital:

Doctor didn't listen

I went to the hospital in severe pain after being referred by Beccles Hospital (who were really great) and was told at the hospital they had no record of the referral despite me having a letter. They directed me to A and E where I was triaged really quickly and efficiently. A doctor came to see me and took a history. I overheard him talking to a senior colleague where he was advised to investigate ovarian or kidney disease (which were also mentioned in my referral letter) and he treated me for a UTI despite the conversation and my concerns. I went home and was in severe pain for several days. Eventually I saw my GP who immediately referred me for a scan and I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts on both sides. I am really concerned that this doctor did not listen to me or his colleagues and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. I was also concerned that I was discharged while on morphine and was not asked how I was going to get home or look after myself while on the morphine.
