After being admitted to crosshouse hospital for an overdose I was still struggling with suicidal thoughts. I self harmed while on the ward. The doctor came and refused to stitch the gaping wound on my leg. I was left with an open wound for some time. They eventually put paper stitches on it but as soon as I stood up they burst. The doctor continued to refused to stitch it. I left the hospital with an undressed gaping bleeding wound. I went to the nurse next day. The wound took 4 months to heal. I had to go to the nurse twice a week for dressings. My wound has now healed and is a lot bigger than it should have been. Totally disgusted that they made me leave like that.
