"No Care Given"

I presented to SCGH with Chronic Fatigue/ PEM 'crash' symptoms- nausea/ weakness/ not able to eat/ drink, shaking/ not being able to sleep properly for days. I was triaged promptly and I felt the Nurse who took my bloods was lovely/ funny and reassuring. 

Unfortunately when I got to the Fast Track Area, that's when I felt all good stopped. I recall I was told ( by the Doctor)  that because my bloods were fine nothing could be done/ given and I should go home/ wait it out. I was asked about my psychiatric history and told the Doctor ( honestly) that some people with CFS have thought about self harm etc and I wasn't sure if I would or would not self harm in the future due to my tiredness/ distress. 

The Doctor phoned the psychiatric team who stated they wouldn't see me but I should see my Psychiatrist in a few days if my symptoms didn't clear. CFS/ ME is a physical condition not a psychiatric condition so I feel physical care, or at least an attempt should have been made to give some level of care, that might have eased the psychiatric stress/ physical stress.

I was advised to return to ED if my mental state worsened but I'm not sure if I would if this were to be the case, I feel no care would be given or I'd be told to go home again. I already left crying and anxious/ exhausted etc, I don't know if I'd want to do that again. 

It pains me to write this as SCGH has been brilliant in the past and I've recieved excellent care. I do understand that I visited on a Public Holiday weekend so I believe my case would have been a low priority however I do feel some care should have been given. 

I do hope, should I have to visit again that my care would be at the usual very high standard.
