On
03.08.2023,
around
2pm,
I
was
admitted
to
ST
MARYS
HOSPITAL
for
medical
care
following
a
major
trauma
(back
injury)
resulting
from
a
fall
down
22
stairs.
I
was
in
severe
pain
and
unable
to
stand,
walk,
or
sit
comfortably.
Unfortunately,
during
my
stay,
I
experienced
distressing
unprofessionalism
and
discriminatory
behavior
from
a
nurse
Aoibheann
Ann
,
who
treated
me
differently
based
on
my
color
and
religion.
The
nurse's
conduct
towards
me
was
profoundly
disrespectful
and
offensive,
causing
me
to
feel
undermined
in
my
dignity
and
rights
as
a
patient.
She
lacked
empathy
and
effective
communication,
failing
to
adequately
explain
my
treatment
plan
or
address
my
legitimate
concerns.
Furthermore,
I
experienced
prolonged
discomfort
as
the
nurse
inexplicably
delayed
providing
pain
relief
for
over
two
hours,
disregarding
my
repeated
pleas
for
assistance.
Additionally,
when
I
attempted
to
document
her
discriminatory
actions
by
recording
a
voice
record,
both
the
nurse
and
her
supervisor
confronted
me
and
threatened
me
with
security,
coercing
me
to
delete
the
evidence.
To
add
to
the
distressing
situation,
when
I
sought
support
from
other
patients
as
witnesses
to
the
incident,
the
supervisor
dismissed
my
request,
denying
me
the
opportunity
to
present
my
case
fairly.
Fortunately,
a
police
officer
happened
to
be
present
during
this
unfortunate
encounter,
and
upon
seeking
guidance,
I
was
informed
of
my
right
to
record
voice
evidence
for
the
protection
of
my
rights.
I
also
experienced
the
following
issues
with
this
nurse:
1.
Lack
of
empathy
and
communication:
The
nurse
displayed
a
disinterest
in
my
concerns
and
failed
to
provide
adequate
explanations
for
my
treatment
plan
or
answer
my
questions.
2.
Delayed
pain
management:
Despite
my
persistent
requests,
the
nurse
refused
to
provide
pain
relief
for
over
two
hours,
which
left
me
in
considerable
discomfort.
3.
Concealing
identity:
The
nurse
obscured
her
name
tag
and
provided
a
false
name
when
asked,
making
it
challenging
for
me
to
identify
her
properly.
4.
Inappropriate
escalation
of
the
situation:
The
nurse
called
security
when
I
requested
her
name
and
pain
relief,
which
further
added
to
my
distress.
5.
Disregard
for
patient
witnesses:
When
I
asked
the
supervisor
nurse
for
support
from
other
patients
as
witnesses,
the
request
was
dismissed,
preventing
me
from
receiving
the
support
I
needed.
6.
Poor
bedside
manner:
Throughout
my
interactions,
the
nurse
displayed
impatience
and
an
unfriendly
demeanor
towards
both
myself
and
other
patients.
7.
Neglecting
hygiene
protocols:
The
nurse
did
not
adhere
to
proper
hygiene
procedures,
neglecting
handwashing
when
entering
and
exiting
room
for
a
new
patient.
In
a
startling
turn
of
events,
when
I
tried
to
voice
my
complaint,
they
callously
directed
me
downstairs
to
St.
Mary's
UCC
instead
of
showing
any
empathy
by
sending
me
to
the
A&E
area
and
following
the
trauma
procedure.
To
add
insult
to
injury,
I
was
met
with
a
heart-wrenching
remark
that
I
was
not
welcome
there.
The
blatant
disregard
for
my
concerns
left
me
feeling
utterly
disheartened
and
betrayed.
Hence,
I
respectfully
request
a
thorough
and
impartial
investigation
into
this
matter
to
hold
those
responsible
accountable
for
their
actions.
I
further
urge
you
to
take
immediate
and
affirmative
steps
to
address
and
prevent
any
form
of
discrimination
within
ST
MARYS
HOSPITAL,
ensuring
that
all
patients,
regardless
of
their
background,
are
treated
with
utmost
respect
and
dignity.
As
evidence,
I
have
retained
the
voice
recording
of
the
incident
and
kindly
request
that
it
be
carefully
examined
as
part
of
the
investigation.
And
also
have
3
witnesses
willing
to
provide
evidence.
