Upset about how I was treated

"Upset about how I was treated"

About: The Royal Liverpool University Hospital

Anything else?

I came into A&E on Tuesday 3rd December 2013 after taking an overdose. I was treated by the nurses extremely well and was looked after very well while waiting for blood tests to come back and to see the Mental Health Team. When I saw a man (don't remember his name) from the MH Team,he treated me horribly and was very unkind to me saying things such as "you're making it all up"...I told him I was still feeling suicidal and I would try to do it again,he just sent me home with no care as to how I felt or what I had said. I was in A&E on Thursday 28th November 2013 after my doctor rang an ambulance as I said I was suicidal,the MH Team (a woman) I saw was nice but she let me go home because I said I was safe. I feel like I've been let down by the MH Team as even though I said I was suicidal they did not help me to keep me safe.
