Written by a patient
12th January 2021


My mental health drained completely during my three day stay there. As a vegetarian I was not given an option for any of my meals and was completely disregarded when asking about any other options. Patients near me were in need of attention and were completely ignored. Multiple people on my ward were starved for days in a row as they were supposed to have an op and then didn’t. The staff made me feel like an annoyance and completely isolated. I was not involved in my care at all and no options were given to me, I was treated like my thoughts an opinions on my own care didn’t matter.
