I was recently admitted to the John Cade ward for a crisis admission. The following day I had family and friends ring the hospital and express their concerns as I had said to people when I get discharged (on the third day) I was going to try and end my life. Even after all of that I was still discharged and less than 2 hours later I had an attempt on my life. And was taken back up to Royal Melbourne. After having a chat with another mental health worker I was told the treatment I received was not right and to stay the night and then in the morning we would come up with another plan. When I woke up the next morning I was told I was discharged with no follow up and not even talking to a mental health worker that morning about how my mood was that morning.
I am really not happy with the treatment I received.
