"Unavailability of breakfast"

About: Broome Health Campus / Emergency Department Broome Health Campus Emergency Department Broome 6725

In ER and 6am asked for breakfast. Got told I was not eligible for two toast. Just a cup a tea.
Discharged myself against doctors advise to remain for a second tropnin blood test for my heart because I chose to feed myself. I regularly have breakfast at 5am every day, day in day out. But I couldn't get 2 toast in a Hospital.
