I have a tiny similar experience. Ended up in the Mater in 2018 after blacking out after a walk and not having an feeling on my left side. A & e said twas a stroke. Got put into neurology ward. They said it was epilepsy. But have never fainted or blackout before the admission date.

Put me on 5 types of tablets. passed out in 3 epilepsy tests over 4 days and had signs of overdosing because I wasn't waking up after other medication was given to me for tests. And me repeating multiple times that it wasn't epilepsy because I was numb on one side and was repeating what A&E said. They never read the a & e notes.

9th day, 3 MRIs had to be done, because they refused the results of the presence of clots in my brain. They finally accepted it after 3rd shown the same result as the first. 9 days of mine and everyone else's time wasted for nothing.

But they actually nearly killed me because the tablets they gave me shouldn't have been mixed. Turned out that two of the tablets were for a OAP in the other ward with the same surname. That's why I was passing out and was actually being over dosed. Nobody read the notes to see what they were being mixed with.

Since then I purposely demand to get a second opinion because nobody fucking reads the notes in there.

Already a few weeks ago a ENT person misdiagnosed me with severe hearing loss and was about to put me on a operation waiting list. I knew that she was way off the mark. Second opinion (her superior) was right, nothing has changed and asked to see a test done 5 years ago to that days to compare. I was going to have to get a cochlear hearing aid for absolutely no fecking reason.

They really need to communicate to each other in hospitals.
