Emergency Room Experiences (Triggering for anything, really)
Hey, I want to know what people's experiences have been like with Emergency Rooms (A&E, whatever you call it) when you have to go in for self-harm/overdose/suicide attempt etc. Basically anything self-inflicted, or if you go in and they find old self-inflicted wounds/scars.
Good and bad experiences welcome! I'll start the ball rolling.
The first time I went in I can honestly say all I remember is some muffled talking and the stain on the roof that reminded me of the episode of Madeline when she had her appendix removed. The second time I went in, though, I was stuck there all day. One of the doctors was obviously not impressed that she had to fix me up and spent as much time as she could away, stopping by only to tell me to "drink it up" (activated charcoal, even though it was like 10am and I'd OD'd 12 hrs before) but the nurses were really nice.
