Stats Query...

1 Reply

When you have had an attack and your stats are 'normal' but you have had to go to A & E via greeny meenies and because your stats have been 'normal' the triage or shift Dr hasn't got a flipping clue and you get dumped in the waiting room.

Have had it happen to me before, 5 hours I had to wait, couldn't ******* breath, coughing like there's no tomorrow to the point where I haven't get the energy to cough but because my stats were 'ok' we're too busy, you're ok. And, then when I am seen it's as if I am wasting their time, get lectured, no neb, no nothing thanks for coming, really made me mad, ignorant Dr's playing roulette with your life because they haven't got a clue and never seem to wake up to the fact that everyone has different symptoms.

This was before I had my major attack when everything went haywire.

My sats never drop until I'm close to being tubed. Never happened, but there have been times everything has been ready for when it happens (don't you love how much faith drs have in you!! Lol), yet I always go straight to resus. From lots of people on the forum I don't think this is uncommon
