ER lack of care

Posted By attendantgs95

"ER lack of care"

About: Albany Health Campus / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I recently I was BIBP and sedated under restraints. 5 hours later I was DC. When I asked my nurse how I was supposed to get home because I had no wallet or phone or anything on me I recall they said that they've talked to a nurse and they've said that is not our concern. I told the nurse it's 30 degrees outside, I feel I'm going to die, I'm still so sedated. 

So I was DC and walked around ta nearby suburb for 5 hours sedated, disorientated, dehydrated trying to find my friend's house that lives in that suburb.

After 5 hours, I returned to ER and begged for a cabcharge, which I was granted.

As yet there is no discharge summary available to me on MyHealth record. 

My lawyer needs this Discharge Summary for evidence in a court appearance soon.

Dear attendantgs95,

I am sorry for the difficulties you encountered when you presented to the Albany Health Campus Emergency Department and I hope that you are feeling better. As the coordinator of your care your GP will have any discharge summary documentation that you require.

Yours sincerely

Jenny,

I have been to my GP twice.

There is no discharge summary.

I have contacted FOI, they have told me to put in an application.
