A Trip to Glan Clwyd Hospital and a Long, Long Wait!
Posted by Karen in General, health, tags: Glan Clwyd, hospitals, TwitterThose of you who follow my Twitter (@RemBeatZ) may of noticed that last night I was twitting from Glan Clwyd Hospital with updates on what was happening, so how did it all start?
Yesterday I took my wonderful mum out for the day to Llandudno for a shopping trip, but, shortly after arriving she developed some extremely painful chest pains, so, without further ado I got her in my car, got on to the A55 and got her to Glan Clwyd Hospital which was around 3pm, I then returned home to get her some overnight stuff for her.
After tea, myself and my good friend went to the hospital to drop her stuff off, only to be told that she may be able to go home, great, I thought, this was at about 7pm.
One hour later we were then told that she should have had an x-ray, so we would have to wait for them to take her down to x-ray, another hour went by and we were still waiting for someone to wheel her down to the x-ray department, after yet another hour, someone finally came and took her down to x-ray.
Half an hour later she was back up from x-ray and then told to wait for a doctor to let her know how the x-ray came out! Then after half an hour a nurse popped her head around the curtain to let us know that she could now go home as she was given the all clear, finally!
At 11pm we were finally on the way out the hospital and on the way to the local Chinese take-away in Rhuddlan for something to eat.
I just can’t believe how long it took just to go in, take a blood test, check her blood pressure and have an x-ray! And they moan in the hospitals that there are not enough beds!!!!

It really is way too long to have to hang around – makes it into quite an ordeal I think.
Good to hear your Mum was OK though
