I was brought to POWH recently. Before that, I was at another hospital and had a very bad experience - I was assaulted. That’s not even what I’m complaining about. I rang the police and said I had been assaulted. When I rang them, they said they had a car on the way because the surgeon had already rung the police and said that I had assaulted them and been racist to them, which I hadn’t.
Then on page 3 of my discharge summary from POWH the following day, it says:
“xx-year-old with urinary retention after recent spinal procedure, brought in by police from [private hospital], was aggressive in ED and removed from their department.”
But that’s not true because I took myself to POWH. I was by myself. I paid for a taxi. I even have a screenshot of that on my phone. So I want this changed because it is a blatant lie that doesn’t make me sound like a very nice person.
