In the January I was very ill vomiting blood. I called the emergency services and was taken to the A & E department. After 13 hours I was seen by a junior doctor who told me it was nothing to worry about and was probably due to low blood pressure, and sent me home.
Two day's later I told my GP what had happened and he was appalled that there was no further investigation and he referred me back to the hospital for an Endoscopy.
I had the Endoscopy yesterday and they have found a growth which is likely cancer.
My concern is that this junior doctor just dismissed me and I think that that is dangerous.
I don't know their name and they did not put their name on the report on the MyCare system.
The Endoscopy staff were brilliant and deserve praise.
