At 3 in the morning I awoke to sounds of movement downstairs, I went to see what was happening, and I was met by my partner trying to maneuver the automatic washer out the front door, I asked him what he was doing and he said dejunking, by this time half the kitchen was on the back garden and the other on the pavement in front of the house. I shouted stop which he did.
I called an ambulance which took 20mins and they talked to him and conveyed him to the A&E at Homerton. They discharged him two hours later without doing nothing, since I had told him not to return home until he was better they discharged him to the street! And he slept in a porch. He had taken a combination of drugs, he obviously had a psychotic break from reality, he had thrown away everything including his bed, clothes, phone, the lot.
I was so grateful to the London Ambulance crew who were very nice and professional, but the A&E I wouldn't recommend.
