I feel I have been badly treated

"I feel I have been badly treated"

About: East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT / District nursing William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)

(as the patient),

I feel that I have been treated with the upmost disrespect by staff at William Harvey. I am very ill and it now makes me not want to go to hospital anymore to get treatment. I found some of the staff who cared for me were so rude and ignored what I said. They have taken my jewellery and not given it back. I'm disgusted I have never been treated this badly in all my life.

I am concerned that I am on the wrong medication. I feel that it's not helping anything, and it's making things a lot worse for me and my two children. I hope this website actually does read these stories and does something about them if not it can only get worse from here.
