Sorry to hear that but all too common I`m afraid. Don`t blame the NHS, put the blame entirely on this tory government. Write to your MP and complain, write to the Health Sec., aka useless Barclay, write to Sky News, etc. etc. and try to stay away from hospitals.

So sorry for your health issues and that of your family. Yes these are tricky times. I agree with LissacFrance, do email your MP about these difficulties and ensure that you pop your postcode on the email the he/she will be able to read it.

Keep well.

The care I have found is so very variable.The care I received on the medical decisions unit recently of a large midlands hospital was outstanding.The follow up care from a telephone consultation whereby I was addressed by another patients name and which went downhill from there was at best sloppy and at worse posed possible dangerous issues further down the line.

The letter to my GP after this telephone consultation was inaccurate and although I had given a full list of the many meds I take it was summerised as'takes inhalers'!

As an ex SRN I was saddened - child number 2 who is a doctor and rarely passes judgement on others was less than impressed.

But as I have said a/e were outstanding in their kindness skill and compassion under horrendous conditions.

I'm afraid there are similar scandals all over the country. Nye Bevan must be turning in his grave.
