"Lack of privacy and respect"

About: Grantham & District Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

I went to A&E one evening in August with tightening in my chest.

After being assessed it was decided to admit me to EAU for for monitoring. I was in until 3 days later while I was in people came asking to look at my file while already looking at it.

I overheard drs & nurses discussing me in the corridor saying I didn't know what I was talking about. I also heard them talking about other patients.

I feel disgusted about the lack of privacy, respect & dignity.
