My partner (f 48) was transferred per emergency to a Northern hospital with liver failure - during the first 5 days she was held on a ward where othing was done except giving her blood (7 units) and antibio's (Just to note that on this ward she contracted Cov19 and it was a so called "Green Ward" = virus free).
I was informed on Friday that she is not going to receive a transfer to anywhere due to her "history" - She was an alcaholic until 2013 and then became free with the wonderful help of Leeds Addiction Unit ( a flower for them) - however due to a botched operation from this Northern hospital she had Chronical Pain Syndrom in her foot and bearly could walk. The pain became so great in December 2019 she started taking paracetamol and the amount increased (I blame myself for not noticing earlier). This lead to a failing of her liver.
I pointed this out several times to the hospital and the calling "consultant" on last Friday 1st May 2020, who informed me that she was dying on the ward and that they would not resuscitate her if her heart stopped ( Claimed she agreed on this - but at moment she does not even know where she is ), had no idea of paracetamol poisoning (That is new to me).
The reason they are giving that she is not approved for emergency liver transplant are
1) her history (she has been clean since 2013)
2) that she had Cov19 (caught in this hospital)
3) that she was too weak
How cruel are such people ? When speaking to the so-called Senior Manager of Care, she could not answer direct questions and did not care that others could have been infected with Cov19 in this "Green ward".
Further she claimed that my partner was "compos mentis", and that she had agreed on not being tube fed and resuscitate. Due to that her liver was no longer functioning her brain functions are not working correctly (today 3rd May 2020 I spoke to her first time in days and she did not understand what they had told her - the only person she still trust is myself. So how is this "compos mentis"?)
Since days she has vomited her food and is getting daily weaker but they refuse to tube her because she is "compos mentis" - the easy way out for the NHS no need to help, no need to pass on details to 2nd clinic and blame Cov19.
Cov19 is heaven sent for some NHS trusts as they can now hide all their mistakes behind the virus and leave people in need to die in single rooms (Yes now she is in a single room and in Switzerland that means she is being prepared to die "Sterbezimmer") - Sadly I helped a nurse in Switzerland to pass her medical exams of four years training in Latin (Yes Latin) and then she was only a junior nurse for 3 further years. Thus I know how a proper hospital works and also spoke to various leading Liver specialist in Switerland about the situation all agreed that even with Cov19 if there is a glimmer of hope then all should be done to provide the patient with a future life.
My case rests
