Yesterday my granddad had to go to accident and emergency as he cut his head. He was waiting 4.5 hours to see a doctor . He was kept in overnight . I went through to the hospital last night as i was a bit worried. I saw my granddad and he was acting normally. However h e has been diabetic for 18 years . The doctor forced me to leave the room so that he could give my granddad his insulin. I still find this unacceptable. The doctor did not care that my granddad did not mind me stopping with him. I am use to my granddad taking his insulin. I would have been far less upset if i had been allowed to stay in the room while the doctor gave my granddad his insulin. I feel as though my feelings were totally ignored. Also it would have done my granddad good to have someone familiar with him while the doctor gave him his insulin.
"Awful"
