I recently took a friend of mine to the queens medical centre . He had a problem with alcohol and was in a bad way , he did have the money to go into private rehab but there were no places so I phoned the hospital and explained the situation . they said bring him down and sure we can help as they had a detox unit there , I took him along and after a 7 hour wait for a so called specialist team to see him and me pleading to give him some medication to calm him down as he was in a state which was ignored a female doctor came out to see him . I explained that I was with steven and had brought him along to the hospital . she looked very judgemental and said he would be seen soon ! after another hour she came along and said she could see him , I asked if I could accompany him into the room and she said no ! after another hour he came wondering towards me and said they can not do any thing for him ! she did not even have the decency to come and have a word with me knowing I was his carer . they did not even give him any medication to help him , I am afraid I can not bring my self to tell you what happened to him after being turned away from that place .
"no understanding what so ever !"
