“hmm. 22 year old female complaining of severe abdominal pain and is vomiting, referred for potential appendicitis. But her blood tests are normal let’s refer her to gynaecology and not give her pain relief”. Meanwhile my insides:
(their excuse was they listed my pain as moderate (what, i was crying out) and gave me IV paracetamol after 10 hours of nothing which i had to beg for. It was originally meant to be an ultrasound till the consultant tapped my heel and changed it to a CT 11am next day. My appendix and cecum was perforated and gangrenous. I was referred there at 7pm. Surgery wasn't done until 4pm the next day <3)
(not needing personal advice, just posting my experience and showing off my epic 21mm appendix)
