'Neglect' factor in patient death

This happened at a ward in Brecon - which is near to where I live, I went to college there.

Apart from what amounted to a few days, I never felt as 'protected' as I wanted to be when I was in hosptial - I wanted to be somewhere where, no-matter what, I would be physically unable to hurt or kill myself. Hospital diddnt give me that. Certainly I would have died if I had not been there but I was at such high risk I should have been better protected.

It wasnt just me, all of the patients (except for one girl that wanted to have sex with everone) were left alone.

They seemed to regard lust as a being a bigger problem than patients seriously hurting themselves.

This one of the most emotionally trying posts that I've written here. I want to be fair, several of the staff were extremely lovely and, as I said, I would have died if I haddnt been there. But the ones in charge of my care wer so unfathomably cruel, hostile, incompetent and neglectful that that I find it quite impossible to be gratefull for the experience.
