Poor

I had a horse riding accident which caused me a delayed concussion and whiplash so I went to A&E and have to say that because I was walking wounded – I was made to feel like I was a nuisance. I didn’t have to wait long as it was in the morning, but I definitely felt there was a lack of information provided to me in my care. I was given a neck support and made to lay on a bed and was told I would go for an x-ray. I was left laying on the bed for some time and no one told me what was going on. I felt very isolated. I was offered morphine, which I’ve never taken before and it made me feel really sick, which laying down with a collar on, didn’t feel very safe. I told the nurse I was feeling sick and she didn’t even lay me on my side, just said that morphine could make you sick. Why was I not told this? I asked about anti sickness drugs and she said they don’t normally give those out. I was eventually discharged and would have gone home covered in my own vomit, if not for another nurse who found a spare t-shirt for me to wear, for which I was very grateful.
