Reviews
[Review is more for the nurse there than the entrance].. Had a very disturbing experience at this hospital. Stu called the emergency services to put me into the hospital for my mental health. I hadn't made a suicide attempt at that time. I was more saying that the community values of being inclusive could be more of a selling point for the indoor cricket than economic potential alone. As some of the things they wrote to council or whoever approves stuff was that they thought they'd be an asset to the community. So yeah i was saying that when they don't let me participate in facebook groups and stuff and actively block my participation it is harmful for my mental health. Stu's response was to contact emergency services rather than adapt their behaviour. So yeah I told emergency services i did not need the ambulance when some people arrived.. but they pretty much insisted i go but it still was voluntary.. Yeah alright so the attitudes of those staff who had to do the transporting of me was a bit off.. but once at the hospital i had to sit in the ED waiting area with the security guard pestering me about not allowed to sleep on the floor.. i can't do it in a chair/s.. too packed or no space for me? I dunno.. But yeah a nurse had to take my blood pressure and she put on a cuff that was far too small.. I still have big arms even if skinnier folks these days have better power with what little they have.. I used to be the one who could do chin ups with one arm while the other girls couldn't manage one regular one.. So i did say "that's too tight".. very calmly but as assertively as i could.. she said that "it wasn't" and i think i even restated my position.. i am not sure if the reading still came up nice and low as is usual for me.. [well under 120 / 80].. but this was terrible on her part.. [ It left me with visible injury - blood vessels ] Because some people get white coat phenomenon of higher blood pressure readings due to anxiety of the health professionals.. So that women's face and actions suggested she intentionally tried to create a potentially recurring condition in me of fear about having blood pressure taken. I don't need medication for high blood pressure. It would be very wasteful and unhealthy to get me on that.. it could have side effects or interact with medicine more helpful to me. The lady was a thin build i think and foreign looking like not white nor aboriginal but quite likely born here. Sometimes those cultures where thinness is a bit more common perceive me to be bigger than I am.. When in fact i might just have good veins for health professionals.. I mean i built muscles up when young.. I have been obese or overweight as an adult at times but that didn't kick off til my mid twenties i think. I didn't have emotional support when i sought it out. Life was like that as a kid when approaching adults after my auntie left or was whisked away overseas.. but yeah i guess i ate some ice cream as an adult as i thought you're meant to do that over unrequited love.. actually it was only a friendship rejection. I actually lose my appetite over that kind of rejection but i suppose i have learnt to use food for comfort too. Definitely got some eating issues.. Not sure what her agenda was.. i don't think this was a strict competency issue in terms of lack of skill.. like this was personality based [her problem].. I don't think she actually misjudged the cuff size.. it seemed deliberate and she ignored my polite protests to the cuff. There are other health professionals who undermine my attempts at asserting myself too. It doesn't come that easy and naturally at times. While i know that cuff was put on too tightly for me i don't have confidence to put one on another person and get the fit appropriate. Psychiatrist was also very inflexible about finding appropriate tools to assess me. Had to wait until the next day. Could not sleep there in chairs.. didn't have access to water.. Let me go after that if you were wondering.
