i was a patient on ward 22 Oct2nd till 9th i was accused by a member of staff as being a drug user she passed this information onto her colleagues who then took it upon themselves to treat me like a criminal i was approached by the dr quite rightfully and asked was i a drug user this broke my heart i offered to take a drug test which she excepted after a 40 min wait baring in mind the room was full of patients i left and went to pals but because the dr was under the impression i was a user i have been sent home still very sick with a growth on my liver not sorted and the blood isnt getting to my heart properly i would rather die than return to that ward all am worried about is will this be on my records and the only thing I was guilty of was going to the front for a sigarete which they also asked me were did i get my money from to afford them I have just lost my husband and mum 9 days apart in the same hoymhsr of heart attacks and am struggling and was abused like this and now every pain i get in my cheat i think this is it the staff on that ward need to learn bedside manners and if anything happens to me i hold them responsible there was a few orher things that happened but I would be here to long
