mandy72 , make sure you get something in black and white too as they are very fond of phone calls and then it goes no further.

I contacted PALS when my endo threatened to discharge me if I didn't do as he says. The CEO of the hospital got it touch by e-mail and offered his help but I said I would try and resolve it myself first.

So do it yourself! Lie if you have to but be your own person.
