"My experiences with Children's Services"

I was with Children's services at Royal Derby Hospital for 2 & half years it was the worst experience I have ever had. I was made to feel like I was going mad and it was all in my head while I slowly deteriorated. I was scared to tell anybody about how poorly I felt and even refused to attend A&E under GP orders a number of times as after my previous experiences I felt mentally abused and had given up! I had been tested for 3 items I had reported (the consultant said there had been nothing seen) but all have been later reported as problems at the same hospital & another hospital.

If one had been treated within the first year it could have been avoided and I may be able to drive now. But to top it all off a note was added on my records and they have refused to remove it which I feel amounts to defamation of character & fear will cause further neglect, it is a disgrace! I write this to make other patients aware. You are not alone!
