"Patient abuse"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

I was taken to A&E to Ward 14 by a Porter with a Nurse in attendance on oxygen, arriving on the ward I was taken side room 4 bed 4 and asked to move from the trolley to the bed. The oxygen was removed as I have a heart complaint and before I could get of the trolley a Doctor came in and dragged me by the collar out of the side ward and frog matched me up the main corridor, say " I hear you do not like my Hospital". I was then seen by a nurse practitioner who was really nice, A Doctor came and told me to go home as there was not a problem, the nurse practitioner saw me after he left the room and said "you are staying you are ill" , I left and went home. I told my GP I had stopped treatment and why and never to send me to the Darlington Memorial hospital.
