"I agree stay at home!"

I've just spent a week on gate 45 and after coming home and reading the reviews I felt compelled to write one myself. I wholeheartedly agree with the comments in the review entitled stay at home. I have been in and out of hospital for the last 30 years so I know what I'm talking about. I too felt like a fraud and was accused of putting it on or in the words of one of the nurses,"do you really need this" . Well yes I did need it there is no way I would or could put it on. I didn't choose to go into hospital I was sent there after a severe exacerbation of asthma I needed that treatment and didn't appreciate the nurses thinking I was faking it. Unless you have experienced a severe asthma attack you will never know how it feels. To not be able to breathe is a frightening, distressing experience. and to be told if you calmed down you wouldn't be like this is not something you want to hear. What has happened to the caring nurses I think they must miss that out of their degree.i must stress it wasn't all of the staff most of them were lovely. there was just one or two whose attitude was appalling.
