I attend the renal unit at the Vale of Leven hospital and recently during treatment I was abused by another patient in a racist way. This isn't the first time this patient has made several homophobic comments to me.
I really felt that a senior staff member on duty was taking sides with the other patient rather than me. I am currently suffering from high blood pressure and this situation made it worse.
I was also advised to move sessions to another team, which I feel I am forced to do even though I shouldn't be. This has left me feeling vulnerable and I now feel uncomfortable attending my sessions.
