Sounds like my recent experience in a certain private hospital that I won't name. I spent a full week vomiting and being treated like I was just being neurotic before they did a gastroscopy and found out I had a torsion of the stomach.

By the time they found it my abdoman was so swollen I couldn't expand my lungs and I had to be put on 100% oxygen with a non rebreather mask and had to have a feeding tube put in.......not happy!

After another ten days or so I ended up lying and saying that I was drinking and keeping it down just so I could be discharged.

My discharge papers never mentioned anything about the torsion or the feeding tube and my GP has received no correspondence from them.
