A&E / Ward 14 MAU

Story from nhs.uk

"A&E / Ward 14 MAU"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Having staggered into Piper House with chest pains, i was seen by a brilliant man who told me I would have to go into hospital, I refused to go by ambulance to Darlington Memorial Hospital. Both the man and the ambulance men persuaded me it would be the best thing. On arrival I sent into the resus area, the nurses were good, the young Doctor came and told me I was to stay in, I asked Ward 14, he said "yes", I said "No" he asked "why",, I said "and end up in a bed next to a druggy who has overdosed". I left against his order with chest pains. I have seen a Doctor fro one of the largest hospitals in the country, he wants to know what Darlington Memorial is up to. I have now stopped all treatment.
