I've posted before (I think), but if not, I was 3 weeks in hospital in Jan (2 weeks in ICU) and have just come out of hospital a week ago after a new wee holiday in hospital (discharged myself).



Anyway, the litany is that I went to gp the 9th with severe pain in upper abdomen. He gave me pain killers.



Ended up in HDU the following day.



Spent 10 days in hospital.



Saw lady GP today who was absolutely brilliantly thorough. She read through every note from the hospital, every blood test and I was in with her at least a half hour. She then gave me a blood test leaflet thing to have done in a week. Last thing she did was lie me down to examine my stomach. Nearly passed out with the pain when she pressed mid ribs and under right ribs. So told me to get the bloods done today, which I did.



Anyway, she hasn't gotten the results back but told me to go to A&E if pain gets worse. In the meantime I'm to double my lansoprazole, take gaviscon and a diuretic (don't know what it's called really, it's to get fluid out of my swollen legs).



Now the thing is, she said I had fluid on my lungs when in hospital and had a chest infection. I also had phlebitis. And apparently I have a cyst on an ovary (I had a ct scan while in - not looking for anything like that). I'm also anaemic.

I was told was that my liver and kidneys were struggling. I was told I had an infection but they didn't know where it was so I was put on antibiotics. This GP could tell me that it was a chest infection.



I was told absolutely NONE OF THIS. None of it.



I am not a fucking idiot. I can understand what people tell me. WHY THE FUCK DID NONE OF THE FUCKERS TELL ME ANYTHING? They were happy to pump drips into me and not tell me what the fuck they were. Is it acceptable?
