I was taken into accident and emergency department wishaw general.
I was alone and scared as there is no visiting due to the risks of covid.
It was so noisy and busy, nurses and doctors rushing up and down constantly, patients being brought in and out.
Not all the staff had much time to attend to all the patients and everything was done so quickly.
However i do remember one of the nurses as she did spend time with me even though she had a list of things to do. She closed the curtain and stood holding my hand and talked to me for a while. I was then made a drink and offered something to eat. It was so nice for someone to notice that i was finding the experience quite overwhelming. I was made to feel at ease and a lot less worried about being alone.
