Being sent home in pain and returning within hours

"Being sent home in pain and returning within hours"

About: Victoria Hospital / Accident & Emergency

(as the patient),

Was sent home in pain.  Woke up that morning not feeling right and was crying.  Was discharged in this state and ended back in hospital 12hours later.

Wasn't happy as the doctor saw me for less than 10 mins to say I was getting discharged even though I said to them that I felt there was still some issue with my leg (during this time I was upset saying this to them and felt they never listened). Came back in the early hours at Victoria hospital and the staff have been great trying to figure out how to help me.
