Shameful lack of empathy and care from one doctor and some nurses! I was admitted with a stress induced condition which was not treated properly before I was prematurely discharged without any medication or aftercare that could have prevented my relapse and readmission, after then spending an agonising day and night suffering and getting into a state of suicidal despair at the lack of care and amount of suffering I was having to endure, I called 999 and was then brought back in and kept in overnight.
On being discharged, I was then shamed by a nurse about my living circumstances, which are not ideal but nor are they of my choosing. I clearly have lanyard showing I am disabled and have anxiety. These were ignored. I fell twice while in the hospital and both times was accused of throwing myself to the floor. I should have been offered a chair instead of forced to struggle when clearly weak, but was left to fall then told I had done it on purpose and while on the floor having a panic attack and sweating being surrounded by nurses and the same Dr who did the same when discharged me before.
I can appreciate that this hospital is very underfunded, but I should not be having this taken out on me I literally feel like going away and ending it all after my experience here again. This was not a caring place for me and the staff most of who I met have been less than caring. My experience left me feeling suicidal and worthless.
