[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 139439, member: 16874"] Yep just the day. Had to go in at 7 and finally managed to escape at about 5. They kept finding excuses, like the insulin. Then I had to wait for the Physio, which was fine. Then it took another hour to get someone to remove my canula, then they said I had to wait for some painkillers. By this time they'd driven me mental with daytime tv (seriously, loose women is sooooo awful!) so I said I had a houseful of cocodamol and I didn't want any tramadol (I took it for so long last time that now it feels like bad speed - teeth grinding and twitchy and not really here, deeply unpleasant). So eventually they relented and let me go. With no advice about changing dressings. The Physio I saw last week was surprised I'd changed the dressings. What did she expect?! The dressings they put on were the size of jumbo sanitary towels and I was all scabby. The cleaning had to be done and I like my plasters to look neat :-) last time I was out by lunchtime though. They let me go as soon as I'd seen the Physio and had some 'food'. So don't let them ignore you! Hassle them as much as you need to, and ask questions if they're not being clear. A lot of doctors assume patients are ignorant and need to keep things really simple. But as you have diabetes you probably understand more medical stuff than average cos you've had to learn. Forgot to say, it might help to bring some food or a snack for afterwards, you'll need to eat but they might not get you anything in time or it might just be grim! Good luck with your doctor - don't leave til they answer all your questions properly :-) [/QUOTE]
