Wrong medication

My brother was there yesterday with a bad concussion and they made him sit for an hour and a 45 min before we asked for out papers back and then they wanted to do something, they didnt want him to get a bed in casualty because we havent opened a file but when my mom went to open one she was told to go sit and they were very rude to us, the lady that helps people to go into triage was sitting sleeping while we were there. We took him to Alberton and we were help as soon a we walked in. Its a head injury its a very serious matter. We have been there our whole lives and the past two visits to them was terrible, they gave my brother medication that could kill him, his breathing was challow and he was so out of it he couldn't even wake up or even stand up. We have Acute Intamitant pohoria and cant take alot of meds and when we phoned the doctor to ask why he was giving it he told us there is no such thing so we asked the nurses to see his file to find out what meds he was given because he didnt have a medical braclet on at all so they showed us and we went through the list of stuff we cant have and that was on there so when i asked to see the file again they refused and we had a fit then they quickly flushed his system and he eventually woke up. My brother could have died. Would definitely not recommend going there at all
