I was having a Colitis flare and needed assistance urgently as the flare was rapidly getting worse. Having tried my GP to no avail. I tried my IBD clinic support phone line at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, their email and other lines of communication to try and get help but I believe the helpline had been discontinued due to resource issues, the email was only being 'read' once per week and the Specialist was in procedures.
To my disappointment, frustration and ever declining health this meant I ended up in the Emergency Department, only for 7 hours later for the Emergency team to contact an on call IBD Dr at SCGH for instructions.
Why did it even get this far? Where was the SCGH resources to avoid an emergency health situation?
