I came to the emergency department because I had a fall off my bed and after my heart was beating fast and I wanted to get checked out. I thought I was just going to stay overnight but instead they brought me up to the ward. While my stay in the ward I stayed for 10 days and during those 10 days they did a lot of tests and pokes. I felt like they were not listening to me and what I wanted. They accused me of faking some symptoms and lying and they claimed that all my symptoms was anxiety. If I had any worrying symptom and called the nurse they would take forever to answer they take up to 30 minutes to answer then they would turn the bell off then just leave me to deal with it myself.
