Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital for suicidal tendencies and alerted the paramedics and the nurses there that I had open and unsterilised injuries from self harm. The paramedics said that because of how nothing had been cleaned or sterilised I would have to get them professionally cleaned and bandaged. I was in a horrible mental state un my hospital stay and my grandmother stayed with me almost the whole time, and I alerted the staff that i would never speak of it around her and so my injuries were forgotten about. They were never tended to and are still dirty in risk of infection after 4 hours at the emergency department.
"They forgot to treat my injuries."
