"Left too long in A&E with ectopic pregnancy"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Accidents & Emergency

(as a service user),

I came to A&E with severe abdominal pain when 6 weeks pregnant. But the doctors didn't prioritise me. I waited in ED around 7 hrs  I had severe pain and I already informed that it was like ectopic. After a long 7 hrs only an ED doctor had seen me, and they didn't refer to gynae doctors or prioritise me. My ectopic pregnancy was burst and i was about to die after 7 hours waiting, only then did a doctor see me and shifted me to ward c1 and did emergency  surgery.
