Also ghastly before reaching the hospital when it's down to you to make the call and decide, Yes, this is an emergency... just horrible. I'm so glad that you and Karen have pulled through.

Thanks Lisna. It's really more you have to make the call to, um, call the ambulance. That's when you think: oh ****! Here we go again! Another [insert a number of hours not less than ten here] of waiting and getting nothing done. But we had to go. And then it was ANOTHER full day there the second time. Not to mention the three hours wait for the ambulance to arrive (did I mention it was three hours wait for the ambulance? Three solid hours!) and when, on the second day, I called her GP to see if he could do anything, considering the pain she was in, his attitude was "so what do you want me to do? We close at seven, I'll be up after that." This was at just before four o'clock. I phoned back and said, don't bother, we're going back to the hospital.
In retrospect, everyone but me was right, and if they had just given us the pain meds then it might not have been as bad. But with the information I had, that was the call I had to make.

^ That sounds pretty awful too, Qwerty. I hope you are eating carefully and that you get some appropriate treatment soon. In the end, (oops, sorry about that), in the end some unpleasant probing is a price worth paying, right?
