Recently got my back injured at work and i went to St Georges hospital , emergency unit. The staff there were so amazing very friendly , the actually noticed that i can't really sit down for long due to the unbearable pain and they provided me with a wheelchair and also brought me a hot blanket to put on back because it was a bit busy a the beds were all occupied. They actually made a plan for me to get some painkillers and took me to x-ray while waiting for the bed . Even the doctor or nurse or trainee doctor who took me the was friendly and professional. Finally i was given a bed and a doctor did come and examined me and told me it's "muscle spasm elicited in the left lumber area" . He told me he will send a nurse to give me some medication and monitor if the meds are taking effect. A nurse did come and surprisingly told me i am being released , she brought me the release papers and some pills to drink when i get home and those pills 2 of the were not covered or in a container, she was holding them in her bare hands , mind you i don't what she touched before coming to me nor if those hands were washed or sanitized, due to pain i actually had no fight in me or to ask her if it's protocol to have somebody's medication in your bare hands. I asked her so i came here with this pain and I'm now with more pain than I did when i came (mind you i had to drive myself from there to my home that is about 20-25km ,it was like she did not care just as long as i vacate the bed. On my way out those friendly ladies by the front asked me how am I feeling now , I **** and said I'm feeling much better i think i did not want to see the look of shame on their faces after their friendly and professional manner. They asked if i got all my paper work and it turned out there was no sick note included on the paper work, so again i had to endure the pain and stand there while they called that same nurse to provide me with it . I waited for more than 15mins until they decided to go look for her. I was given 2 day off (the day i was there and the bext day), mind you i can only sit down for a couple of mins on a chair before the pain becomes unbearable then i need to stand also for a couple of mins for the same effect to take place. After those 2 days were depleted i had to go to my own personal doctor to assist. I'm supposed to go back to St Georges again for a check up, I'm still in pain and yet i don't really feel like going back due to the fact that i have to sit in pain and leave the hospital feeling more pain than i do now. A rushed job is better than no job at all . The date was on 06/10/2025. Even my bosses are wondering why am i back so soon seeing how much pain I'm in. The stars are for those people that assisted me so much with their care and compassion even though the hospital was extremely busy but they still managed to help out as much as the could
