While in medical assessment ward and I was asked to share a room. I politely declined and explained the health reasons why I didn’t want to share. I then felt emotionally blackmailed by staff, with them saying a number of things including, how would I feel if it was my relative stuck in a corridor, that they had an elderly person stuck on a trolley without a room.
Once again I apologised and said I couldn’t share. The nurse seemed to be angry about this and stormed out of the room without responding to me.
I was asked to share again on B3 but received the opposite reaction. The nurse understood and didn’t push me.
