Admitted: 24th Jan
Moved beds: 8 times
Number of times treated like crap: lost count
Number of time nurse says getting a doc then you find out they couldnt be arsed: 5
So I was admitted two weeks ago, most of which ive not be allowed visitors because the hospital has been shut because of norovirus. Because of this I also had to stay on MAU for a week as my resp ward has been shut.
When I finally get to my resp ward they aim to get me home last Thursday but unfortunatly my peak flow dipped and they refused to let me go and increase my steroids even more. By the evening I as struggling and I was needing regular nebs overnight, which my nurse was rappidly getting cheesed off wiith...sorry I thought you job was to care?? must of been mistaken!!!
Friday care, got reviewed by my cons and told for safety resons and to get me better for my 21st (on 11th) they are keeping me for the weekend and they are writng a plan in my notes that if my sats or peak flow dip anymore and I start struggling I am to have the doc come straight away and I am to have back 2 back nebs and straight back onto the iv amino...
...Saturday was reasonable managing 2 hourly nebs...Sun I had a good day, no probs untill bout 1930 at night and I started having a random attack out the blue...ONE, yes ONE neb later an the nurse abondons me, night staff come onto the ward, and says there not getting a doc as there on call and wont change anything (hmm what happend to the plan in my notes)...needing losts of nebs overnight, 0630 comes and I ask for another (lets just say was still waiting for that neb a fair few hours later)
Mum rings up the ward in the am to ask how I am as I tell her was poorly pre bed...nurse tells mum I had a really good night and slept well... WTF DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PATIENT???
I have to say the care has been utterly disgusting.

On day 16, getting massivly depresses, had to have the iv amino
stop at lunch time today as my heart was going way to fast. Had a massive attack
last night and had to have several back to back nebs, and magnesium again.
Thankfully I had a blinking amazing nurse who was with me nearly all night, got
doc straight away who also had itu re review me.
Cons seems to not be
listening to me, though and is more interested in just getting me home for
my bday, dont get me wrong, that would be lush, but pretty pointless if I cant
breathe...
Was also rather shocked...was so upset I walked of the
ward...nurses hadn't even realised I went missing...bit silly considering I was
on hourly obs and wasnt allowed to leave my bed....aparently according to the
patient next to me, the nurses and docs kacked it....yet...when they spoke to me
afterwards and told me to stop getting upset, I asked them if they have asthma,
resp probs or struggle daily to breathe (all of which was no) I then said I wish
just for one day they could have my body and feel my suffering,.to which they
apologised and walked away from me...still no where, still struggling, cant have
any more iv treatment because of my heart so is left with nothing...again...god I actually hate asthma and my life right now!!!
