a friend who suffers from depression had overdosed, and went by ambulance to hospital -leeds general infirmary, she was conscious all the way. whilst in a&e she was ignored completly bearing in mind her mental health wasnt that great, she was seen by a nurse and doctor who completly patronised her, and just presumed she had broken up with her boyfriend( she was a assault victim the attack contributed to depression and suicide bid). she was admitted to an observation ward where again completly ignored by the staff, who she heard talking about her instead of to her. anyway she got better and moved on, a few month later she was back in a&e (leeds again) with a injured back and was treat in such a different manner-the staff actually acknowleged her!
anyone else ever experienced this with uk hospitals?
