I had a d and c at the gold coast hospital for a blighted ovum that wouldnt budge on its own and was treated terribly by ward staff, theatre staff were brilliant. I am a nursing student myself and had even had training on the ward next to it and recognised faces but i was disgusted. Im only 21 and was treated like it didnt matter because i was so young and i have plenty of time but they didnt know i had been trying with my partner for 14 months! I didnt get any pre op info or post op info. i never got a follow up appointment or even saw a doctor or ob to get some info all i got was a consent form with a few risks on it. I never got a letter for my gp! i was in and out within 8 hours and as i walked past the nurses station not one of them got out of there chair and acknoledged me as I left. I got no communication and after i had been waiting for 2 hours in the hospital bed my partner decided to ask when i was supposed to go down for the procedure and the nurse said "dont you know your on a waiting list, when there is a spot then you can go" i was never told this! i thought it had been booked i then waited another 2 hours wanting to get this thing out of me as i was so distressed. No one even offered to cut of my wrist tag as i left. im still furious about this and have learned more there on how to be a great nurse then 3 years of uni!
