Last year, I went to Armadale ed. I am aboriginal person with some mental, drug, alcohol problems. I try to kill myself, my relative checked on me that day, drive me to ed.
While I am in Ed bed, a nurse come over, talk to me in a seemingly horrible manner, I felt very clearly look down on me because I am Aborigines, I recall they giggled and laugh at me when I tell them, I do drugs and alcohol, on the dole. Why they judge me?
I pressed call bell few times, the nurse come in, cancel the bell, walk away, never ask what I want, very rude and uncaring. Nothing is offered to me from start till I move up to ward. I have been starve and thirsty for few hours in Ed. I end up drink water from the sink.
Bad memory from that day in ed come up in my mind, make me very sad, I feel so useless.
