Zero stars - I was humiliated

I've got two stents and I had a bad turn. An ambulance came within an hour and took me in, they told me an ambulance would be able to take me home as I live a while away and nobody could come with me. I was in and out of the ambulance from lunchtime until 10pm. The following morning a doctor saw me and said I could be sent home with tablets which I got at around 2pm. I was worried about getting home as I only had £5 on me and I wasn't dressed in proper clothes. I asked the nurse about it and she said I could get on a bus but I couldn't because I didn't have enough money and I was embarrassed for how I was dressed. I told her I'd been told I'd be taken home. Another nurse came up behind me, grabbed my arms and spun me round in front of everyone there and said "what makes you think you deserve a lift home". I was totally humiliated. In the end she shoved a slip in my hand for a cab. I realised after I could have got a cab and paid when I was home but because I was feeling unwell and had been told I'd be taken, I was thinking about it properly at the time. It was the way she spoke to me in front of other people.
