my experiances of A&E are very variable...
for any and all non-SI insidents, including some abuse insidents, they have been really good. For SI though... a few years ago I passed out in the waiting room from blood loss, that wasn't good... 2 years ago I got told that "people like you aere as bad as hoax callers. You know there are people wit REAL illnesses and injuries we could b helping rather than wasting our time on you"
. Last time I went due to an OD they weren't too bad, until they asked how/why it happened and I had to explain that I didn't know as it happened while I was dissociaited, and then the woman desided that I was psychotic and made the on-call psych come who told me that I was "lying" and that the abuse in my past was "my own fault" and that "DID doesn't exist so stop acting". They've given me stiches and when I said it hurt told me to "stop moaning" as suring it hurting was the point in my doing it.
I have had some good experiance too though, for example they've allowed my partner to come in with me and even stay for several hours. Several times I don't remember actually going to hospital, suddenly finding myself thee already stiched up, and to be honest if they could cope with me while in a dissociaitive state and not end up wih me running out of there and endign up in a different city or ended up with my hurting them (please don't judge me for that, it's not really fully me that does it and I don't rmeember it happening. I still feel awful for it though) then they must have been amazing service, etc. wise... Even my partner when I'm dissociaited has difficutly keeping me "under control"
