"Insensitive and rude greeting at ED"

I was experiencing a lot of bloody loss at home alone, after hours.

It got to a point that I felt I needed to seek medical treatment, as I felt unsafe being at home suffering on my own. I was very concerned about what was happening to my body and I got scared.

I drove myself to the hospital in tears and tried to hold it together and not have a panic attack. 

I got the hospital and gave general details to the reception / intake person.

When the nurse came they hurried me up the corridor asking me along the way what was wrong. I told them in short form, as I felt that it was not appropriate to discuss in an open area. They then then told me that I should only come to hospital if it is an emergency, as they are busy, and they appeared really annoyed at me. From that moment I just shut down inside and felt shattered that someone would treat me like that when I needed so badly for someone to just take time and care to tell me everything would be ok. 

Once I got a proper assessment it was determined that a DR was required and so one was called in. 

I felt embarrassed and ashamed that I was attending hospital in the first place. And to be treated like that just made me feel worse.
