"Mistreatment by nurse"

About: South East Regional Hospital

(as the patient),

I presented to South East Regional Hospital and felt I was treated as though I was a drug-addicted person seeking drugs.

When the Nurse got me in to where they look at me, they made me sit on a chair after lying down a bed for less than a minute. This was as I was having heart pains from a bruised chest.

When the Doctor arrived I recall they asked the nurse why I was sitting on a chair and I believe the Nurse replied they needed to clean the bed with a tone of voice that sounded to me like they thought I was a drug addict. It seemed to me I was the only patient present in Emergency at the time, I recall there were other beds and I wasn't ‘dirty’, in my opinion.
