"Lacking in knowledge of Epilepsy"

I have epilepsy. I had a very serious seizure at home prompting my father to ring an ambulance when I couldn't be woken. When the (very lovely and professional) paramedics arrived, I had regained consciousness and did not want to attend hospital as unfortunately every time I have been, the staff simply do not understand the need for an epileptic to sleep after a seizure. I was coerced into attending under the premise I would have a bed. Unfortunately, upon arrival I was taken from the stretcher and plonked into a wheelchair in the reception room, saying there would be a 2 hrs wait to see a Dr and no bed was needed. This is unacceptable. It is of paramount importance that I, and many others, sleep after a seizure. If I do not, I will lapse into further serious seizures which can result in fatality. I also had a badly bruised and scraped leg, a deep laceration to my tongue and was in a state of confusion. Giving the very serious threat of further seizures and my inability to sleep in a wheelchair in reception, I decided to discharge myself. Speaking to the person on reception, they called over a nurse to bring a disclaimer, which is fine. However, the nurse was simply the most aggressive, hurtful and thoughtless clinician I have ever met. I was berated, and told "you sign this on the understanding you go home and die" leaving myself and my husband speechless. I've been upset with Carlisle hospital a few times in regards to their knowledge and treatment of epilepsy, on both A&E and Maternity, and this needs to change. I'd be happy to discuss this if needed.
