I recently tried to commit suicide and was admitted to netcare sunninghill hospital and to say I was treated disgustingly is an understatement. Upon arrival I was hysterical and unable to know where I was and why I was there. The one female doctor/nurse that stood out was the one that loudly expressed her annoyance and anger towards me. At some point when I was crying she shouted at me "why are you crying? What? Are you a baby?", she handled me roughly, and when she was supposed to take me to a bathroom, she angrily asked me, " what's wrong with you? Can you not just walk?". I then told her to leave me the hell alone and to get out and that I will not be treated this way. I asked for someone else to help me and ge took me to the bathroom and I was later admitted to the ICU. There I was still very upset, no one wanted to tell me where I was and my fiance was not there with me which made me uncontrollable and hysterical once again. I asked them to call him when they said I've been admitted and will be staying there because he was not there and I felt alone and scared. This annoyed them immensely. Eventually before the last visiting hour came at night nurse Rebecca who was referred to as sis Rebs told the nurse or doctor there that she refuses to deal with me because I asked them to call my fiance again. I did this because I was told that no cellphones were allowed in ICU. She screamed right in front of me that she refused to deal with a patient that makes her work so hard and is not easy to deal with. Whatever needs to happen to make her not deal with me, they must do because she was tired. I was embarrassed and humiliated and at that point just wanted to go home. I was treated as a nuancense for having overdosed and even the psychiatrist made me feel stupid for having done so. He kept asking "if I let you go home, are you going to do anything silly again?". At first I brushed it off but eventually I asked him what he meant by silly and he told me "overdosing" to which I said well it depends on what you expect of me because it seems you think I am being stupid for trying to commit suicide. He tried to backtrack and I told him I'll speak to him when my fiance is around. He even went as far as telling me that I need to ease off the pills and alcohol because I seem to have a good man and that my actions will scare him off. This was inappropriate and his words were filled with discontent with my actions. He was very condescending, actually most of the medical staff was. I plan to take legal action regarding this.
