I was recently taken to Glasgow royal infirmary as I had self harmed. I had experienced poor mental health that day. After getting taken to a cubicle I was left to wait by myself for a significant time period before being seen by a doctor. On more than 1 occasion I was accused of self harming while I was there and making my wounds worse with hospital equipment. The doctor refused to believe I was telling the truth. I had already been searched before presenting at the A& E department. I was then left to wait on my own for another significant time where I was becoming more and more distressed with just my own thoughts for company. I have a history of self harm and have found this whole situation extremely traumatic.
"Left ashamed and embarrassed"
