"Treatment by the clinician"

I was presented to the Moora District Hospital in the early hours on a weekend a few months ago, arriving in an ambulance after being king hit and knocked out.

Upon the clinicians arrival I felt they did not seem very interested in touching me and I recall said, this is what happens when you people drink and get into fights. The police and ambos said they didn't know how many drinks I had, and I stated only a few. I recall the clinician then said, I can't do much for them cos they're only drunk and also made a comment about my weight. I did not present to the hospital because of my weight.

The police then proceeded to do the breathalyzer on my then gave me the reading of 0.02 (well under driving limit). Then the clinician, I believe, decided to treat me.

It seemed to me that the nursing staff and police were very annoyed at the clinician's response to me. The clinician then continued with their examination and kept me overnight for observation.

The following day the clinician attended my room and I recall said, I was told you come from a good family and that you work. I did not feel the need to respond as both the night before and morning after I feel I was judged (very inaccurately) by this point I left and did not want any further interactions with them.

As a follow up to my discharge I had to see the clinician at the surgery the following day. But it wasn't until my third visit over three days that I was sent for a head scan for my own reassurance.

I feel these kind of judgements and assumptions are unacceptable.
