"treated v badly in a&e"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

My daughter died and I got really drunk. I woke up and had empty packets of medication at my feet. I phoned NHS 24 who sent an ambulance to check if I overdosed. I was taken to hospital. I was woken at 6 30 am, and told to go home. It was raining outside all I was wearing was pajama bottoms and a bath robe a pair of socks and no shoes. I had no money or phone. I was not informed if I had over dosed or not. I felt they treated me like a leper.
