I attended emergency twice in the last 3 months once with an acute neurological event (12 days) and once I was brought in with an existing cardiac condition - had had a cardiac acute event (CPR to resuscitate me 3 times) but was ramped for four hours.

Staff skills
As an inpatient I felt bullied, I was seemingly ignored, I was paralysed and a nurse would not let me wash my hands after defecating and then, I believe threatened a code black if I would get into bed with s**t hands. Until I found out that someone had put this false diagnosis, I felt I was treated like a scumbag and a liar. Then my psychiatrist wrote to the hospital and my inpatient care changed immediately they stopped what I felt was mistreating, discrimination and abuse against me and I had decent care but they refused to correct the record. I understand the false diagnosis is impossible based on available 23 years of medical information.

Staff attitude
So when I came in having had an acute cardiac event, with a recent stroke admission and 3 times CPR - I believe I was treated like a liar and ramped. I changed hospitals to another I was immediately admitted and the cardiologist inserted a loop monitor to monitor my heart after extensive investigations. Because I understand they don't believe the false diagnosis.
