Mum was walking and talking two days previous to an end of life conversation with doctor . Mum was put on end of life care and taken off fluids, but unfortunately we could not understand the doctors poor English, so we’re unable to get answers. . Surely doctors should have persevered a while? Mum passed away when her organs failed, 5 days after being taken off oxygen and fluids 🥲 Mums death certificate says encephalitis, but did she die from this...we are unable to get answers.

My advice if you cannot get answers from the hospital is to go to the care ombudsman to get answers.x Take care
