I was admitted in late-February after suffering a heart attack. I had stent fitted. I cannot thank enough for the care I received.
But the next day I asked my named nurse to give me my purse, after waiting for over 2 hours, I had got irate. I found her and her attitude was quite hostile. I then asked for it again, but she had disappeared again. I asked to use to use the phone to find out why bt had no connected my landline. I was told I had to ask my nurse about it.
I then decided to go home as ignorance and arrogance is my top hates, as there is no need for it.
As I was leaving the ward doctor asked me why I needed to have my nurse, 3/4 members of staff seemed to get involved.
I asked for a manger and I got the ward doctor. This smacks as disrespectful. I then left the ward and managed to get away from the ward staff. I managed to find the bus stop with quite a few peoples help.
I then had the security team and duty manager. They were also hostile, as I was not listening to there advice about my welfare.. I will not stop anywhere when I was treated so disrespectively.
They are now making out that I discharged myself against medical advice. This is why I have written this.
If people let the staff lock your personal stuff, you also will be ignored.
