"My 3 weeks in the safe house"

About: St George's Hospital

I was taken to Norbury ward in an ambulance straight from my parents house with nothing more than a just go from them. On arrival I was greeted at the door by about 15 people who tried to man handle me into the building. I was shown to my room and nothing was explained to me as staff were to busy trying to entertain other patients by playing pool and table football. I was expected to read it from a welcome pack and calm down in my room. Overall my stay wasn't bad and they had my best interests at heart although they did loose a charger for a £65 Philips shaving razor while it was sent off for PAT testing even though it didn't need testing as it was a 2 pin plug and there were already 2 pin sockets in the bathroom. When questioned we were constantly fobbed off with oh you'll have to ask so and so they'll of put it in a safe place. It has rendered my property useless and there was a total communication break down.
