I feel like I can’t have what other people have. I feel like they’re against me or something. It’s the closest hospital to me and sometimes I regret going. I always have a kerfuffle with the admin. I tell them they don’t support me like I need. Before I go I tell myself they’re human beings like me and I tell myself I’m in their care and they will care for me. But everytime I go there, when I leave the hospital I’m still the same. I spoke to the doctor recently, the doctor was fantastic.
I thought maybe they would still have taxi vouchers. They discharged me in silly hours of the night, and I have to find my own way there, and the nurse was nice and said they didn’t know. I asked if I could have a taxi voucher please, the nurse said they talked to the coordinator, and apparently they said they don’t do it anymore. That’s not what I’d heard. They’d given someone else a taxi voucher, but not to me.
Every time I go there there is confusion, a lack of support and I feel there is a lot of favouritism. If I can’t get the support and help that I need I have to go elsewhere, and I don’t want to do that, I want to give them another chance. I spoke to the local liaison officer, and they told me they do have taxi vouchers for those who don’t have someone to pick me up. Now they’re telling me they don’t do it anymore.
I just feel like they don’t want to help. I asked my doctor to write me a letter so I can get to another hospital but they can’t do that.
I just want to go there and get the help and support that I need and I just want to get home safely. I don’t want to be catching the train so late at night. If I have to go back there, how will I get home?
I might have to speak to my coordinator.
