"ED experience"

I was accompanying my friend who is palliative, has multiple issues including a recent leg amputation and a care plan to have someone with them. I appreciate that this is generally restricted at the moment and as I work in the hospital I understand why, but I have accompanied her on multiple occasions in the last 2 years. If I had been taken to one side and been spoken to in a respectful manner I would not be taking issue. Instead I was very publicly berated by a doctor who told me my presence was redundant, I was of no use and the patient passport was just a whim of the patient. I was then very rudely escorted out with the doctor still berating me. I was at no point abusive and just tried to explain how my friend needs the support of someone due to prior experiences and fear.
