"Stroke ward unable to give unified conclusions..."

About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

I have returned home from the Acute stroke ward after two consultants saying i have had two strokes,i was given relevant treatment and relevant long term meds,and long term advise,and physiotherapy booked,and stroke nurse booked,and also scans booked to detect abnormalities and possibly save my life.yet third consultant who didn't witness either of my strokes came in like a whirlwind,and totally poo pood every thing the others had established in their professional opinion.who looked at me for a few seconds,then abruptly stated they were not convinced and withdrew all stroke meds,and scanning,asked what has happened to me they didn't know.No follow up.Just go home.Should i now drive,should i now eat what i like.Should i get as stressed as i like.I know nothing and probably won't go to a and e next time because I've been made to feel a fraud,I'm very distressed and fearful about what happens now to me.
