Saddest news ever

145 Replies

First I would like to thank everyone who has commented on my posts . Over the weekend my husband was exhausted and really listless, so I booked a home visit Dr suggested anti biotics for chest infection . When he did the oxygen saturation test it was 61% so we ended up in rhesus. They stated my husband was very ill and had pneumonia, we had antibiotics oxygen ,and fluid etc, intensive care said they weren't needed as he seemed stable. We were moved to another dept and waited hours for a Dr to see him , he seemed exhausted . The Dr came in and said can you answer the questions quickly as it was an urgent situation, then called me outside to tell me he could quite easily die. I felt sick , it seems really bizarre a dr came in and turned his oxygen . About 10 minutes later a nurse asked who had turned it off , said a dr had, she said it needed at all times. He really struggled to reach sat levels , and passed away. To say I am devastated is an understatement , I had loved him from the minute I saw him , and will love him until we meet again xxx Take great care everyone xx

With time I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that such a lovely sounding husband would not want you to be unhappy for a single moment.

Awe my word i am so sorry to hear of your loss..sending loads of hugs...First of all they say he isnt sick enough for intensive care, make you wait for hours and then the dr turning the oxygen off? and then he passes away, makes no sense at all other than neglect and thats disgusting. He should have had the oxygen left on until his sats settled. Ive heard of way to many neglected cases in hospitals lately. So very sorry again to hear this..We are here to support you in anyway we can..love always..

I am so sorry to read of your sad news thoughts and prayers go out to you God bless

On another note it seems that the hospital are at fault they did a similar thing with my mom I did go and see a solicitor but he told me I would gave to put my house up for sale to fight the NHS he did write a letter to them that I had to pay for and the hospital said if I would like to ho in they would explain to me !!!!Basicslly they were admitting there guilt

Then a few years ago I went to my GP with a chest infection he wanted me to sign a DNR form I was horrified I said am I going to die he said no but to be honest I think that's just an easy way out for them I never signed it

Anyway please except my deepest sympathy and remember your husband is only a whisper away god bless

My deepest condolences. You must feel so devastated and numb.... There are never any good words that anyone can say to make it better, but maybe all the nice posts on here will let you feel that people really care.

I personally would start an investigation regarding turning off the oxygen by that doctor. This is negligence. Don't let them sweep it under the carpet. Don't let them say he would have died anyway, because that would have to be proven...which they can't. All this happens too often.

I understand your head might not be in the right place at this very moment, but don't wait till the dust is settled and records of who did what get forgotten, misplaced or altered.

You can sue the NHS. Find a “no win, no fee” solicitor.

My daughter successfully sued the NHS after the death of her little baby girl.

It is not about the money. It is about not letting them get away with it.

I wish you all the best and hope you have plenty of support around you.
