Never again will I ever let myself be subjected to such inhuman treatment by ward staff. I was brought in by
ambulance to A&E and I have to say the staff there were amazing, compassionate and kind. Once I was transferred to a ward a few hours later I was treated with little or no respect I didn't even know what was going on no one would talk to me or explain why I was there. I was patched up and sent home with full thickness burns over 18% of my legs and told to take paracetamol for the pain...paracetamol for god sake I'm missing 18% of the skin on my legs and I'm sent on my way with basically no pain relief. I was in so much pain I could even use a toilet for 3 weeks! Did anyone care no did anyone help no. If I was a Dog the RSPCA would have shut down this god forsaken place for cruelty. This is only a small part of the story I could go on but basically 3 months on I have been in constant pain I now suffer flashbacks and nightmares of what was done and said to me. I didn't ask to be set on fire it was an accident I did however I did need help and what I got was attitude, humiliation and pain more pain then I have ever experienced in my life. I really don't understand what I could have done to be treated in such away there have been moments of such unbelievable pain I have actually wished for death this may seem a little far fetched but believe me at times I felt like I was on fire with no way to stop the pain. I ask you if you felt like you were on fire wouldn't you want it to end anyway possible. Sadly because of such horrible and horrific treatment I am now forced to look after my own burns which may or may not heal. I pray whoever reads this never needs help like I did and if they do a hope they get better treatment then I ever did.
"Never again"
