I was admitted to leverndale hospital last year for a few weeks, the whole time I was in there I felt like nobody took any notice of me being there. If felt like I was given more diazepam every time I tried to approach a nurse just to keep me quiet. I was diagnosed with a new condition whilst in there and all I was given was a whole load of paperwork to read and when I asked for someone to sit down and explain this more to me I was told they were too busy. I think there clearly wasn’t enough staff and too many patients on a one to one so it felt like all other patients were just left to get on with it. One member of staff was particularly rude to me which really didn’t help with my recovery I felt more suicidal because of this.
