All male ward, I'm the only female, would you be comfortable with it?

So I'm tired, tearful and fed up, so I'm not sure I'm thinking straight.

I've been in A&E for two days, and had a horrendous time, they've moved me to a ward with three nice old ladies.

I've been here half an hour and they've just told me I'm moving to another ward. Off we trot, I've no glasses or contacts in so can see very little.

I've just sat down and realised there are six beds in here and I'm the only woman the rest are occupied my men.

Next to me is a man who was aggressive in A&E abusing the staff. He's trying to engage me in conversation.

I've had no sleep as I sat on a chair in a corridor for 19 hours. I cannot sleep in here and I want to cry.

What can I do?

Look after your health first, the nurses should put in an incident report about having to use mixed bays, I don't understand why they moved you in the first place, if you want to pursue it ask to speak to the bed manager and PALS and they can investigate ans explain. The 19hr wait will also have bee entered in the system by the staff, the most important thing is that you get the right treatment and home soon.
