So, Apparently A&E Can’t Tell That Someone Who’s Screaming In Pain & Vomiting Continuously… IS. SERIOUSLY. ILL.

Hospital A&E COMPLETELY Ignored the Screaming Pain &; Continuous Vomiting from one Patient in the Waiting Room - A Vulnerable Adult, with Complex Medical Conditions, with Physical & Learning Disabilities, severe back and spine complications, and Mobility Problems.

Clues About Myself – I Don’t SEE Me(?!)

I am doing something so Stupidly Mundane... But as I am doing it, it's bringing into focus something that's been a...

The Autie & The Allergy (Silicone, This Time)

Well. And there was me thinking the most annoying part of finding out I was Allergic To Silicone was having my [First] Suprapubic Catheter implode, after giving me one almighty skin rash that looked more like I was being burned...

Wheelchair Autie Vs Ticket Office

You know, it's bad enough being a Wheelchair User when it comes to Public Transport. Adding my Fretful, Vexing, Social-Phobic Aspie Brain to that, means that it never goes well when it comes to using them. Now, I am glad to say, in hindsight, that this was the only thing that went wrong with this …

The Auti & The Dentist: SO – No Emergency NHS Direct or Dentistry in North Wales…??

Right... So my face exploded - for the second time - with an abscess on a broken tooth. It's in the middle-ish of my lower left jaw bone. Literally overnight (it wasn't like this yesterday!), this time, it sprang up and doubled in size; this thing is a Monster that's already made me look somewhat …
