According to discharge notes I was admitted on 4th Sept. after a fall at home. Diagnosed with water infection and cellulitis. Quite battered and bruised but otherwise nothing broken. 1st point of confusion because GP Surgery were trying to arrange easy admission for other stuff while the glory that is known as our NHS did their headless chicken thing. The original stuff still hasn't been mentioned and I cant work it out. On Monday will have to call Surgery.
Whilst in hospital I had another fall. My memory is quite hazy but i'm still not sure I trust their version either, as in discharge notes: "...fall in hospital sustaining mild facial (mild? really?) injury while on telemetry (heart trace), which showed persistent 1st degree heart block (slow heart beat)." As I remember it, I was dropped whilst being transferred from one surface to another. I remember screaming, lots of people around me, someone kept saying sh! sh! Haha! I had excruciating pain up into my left armpit. Now have a pea sized hard lump which I'm thinking might be a result of that fall.
Well this has been helpful in trying to put some of it in order. Thank you so much for your help and support. xxxx

Oh my goodness ...iv just read ur post...they dropped you...that is awful...i am so sorry that happened to u...and then for them to try to cover it up by saying ssshhh....my goodness your a grown man with a brain in your head do they think that they are going to get away with that ? Dispicable behaviour..these staff shud get their books...Are you going to put in an official complaint ? Best wishes to u tulips.
not sure whether sshh was intended to cover it up. loud screaming. i'm in no position to complain after events going back a while has proved it's a pointless exercise. the circumstances they have to work in is the biggest issue.
p.s. i'm a woman with alopecia. easy mistake, often happens so please dont worry. no offence taken I promise Dawn xx
On previous experience I would imagine it's a waste of time and energy. I dont have the energy etc. to spare. If I thought it would achieve anything I would. xx
So sorry to hear this Dawn. Glad to see you here, I've missed you my phone is playing up please ignore the next name I've written, I'm trying to edit it.. tulin
Dont worry darling i've been called worse! lol Good to see you too. How are you getting on? XXX
I c frm ur profile that uv been housebound for 2 yrs...theres days I'm housebound coza the CFS (a Part of my fibro) but my biggest fear is that i become completely housebound. Ru hbound coza the fibro / cfs ?
so sorry to hear that tulip,that awfull dropping you as if you havnt been through enough trauma Icertainly would put a complaint in ,so stay strong and i wish you well.xx
From previous experience, no point at all. I dont have the energy to go into a pointless battle. XX
That's awful but I agree with you--- lot of energy used up trying to complain and they'd go by what is written in the notes. Unless one of the people involved spoke up you'd not get anywhere.
I had a sense they were very wary of me. In the end they were getting on my nerves and so I said a couple of times if they were waiting for me to complain they needn't. It would be a waste of time, and those accountable would not be those held to account. When the message got through, everyone around me relaxed which made life a little easier for me.
I used to be so proud to be part of the NHS and it's heartbreaking to see what it has become. Sadly, this type of story is not unusual. You have been treated horrifically. I hope you are soon back to whatever is considered well for you, and that you can put all this behind you. Hugs 😊
I wish I could pop round and give you a hug and hold your hand tulip, I don't want to think of you on your own. You 've been through so much lately no wonder your so confused. It is so sad the nhs has been rundown to such a state leaving the people who need it the most neglected and unsafe, it really is criminal. Thinking of you, Sharon.
Thank you Sharon. I believe we're all more vulnerable now than since the start of NHS. The state of equipment, the morale of all who work within, and valid concern of what happens when something goes wrong. Take care, hugs xx
Problem is, you stand no chance of reaching those most responsible. The NHS is on it's knees. That's not down to the people we see. They're just trying to make ends meet. Mistakes happen where they really shouldn't. Mistakes happen sometimes with anything in life, but It's reaching a level now where it becomes the norm. That's why it scares me.
Hi Dawn, Im so glad you are home where you belong. I tend to agree with you about complaining about the way you were treated. Ive done this in the past and it had little if no effect. If anything it has I think put a black mark against me. Take real care of yourself. Happy to see you back. Hugs Joolz.x
Some years ago I had a falling out with a senior nurse. Her behaviour was dreadful. I was moved to a different ward where it was made perfectly clear just how uncomfortable my life would be. I left without a word the following day. This lead to a transfer to a different hospital. I'm now out of options. XXx
Glad your Home Dawn 😀👍 Hope You can get checked over by DR. Put energy in positive as much as possible. Understand when something like You've been through is very upsetting & Wrong. Recently been in with my Mum truly heart breaking what is Happening in NHS. Lots of Love Jan. XX
Hope your Mum has more success than I've had. Take care Jan xx
Oh for goodness sake D this is not acceptable. I know you said you was confused, but you obviously remembered this. I'm so sorry Hun . It makes me so mad and to be shhh . I hope you can recall most of what happened and maybe get a complaint together. Bless you. T xxx
but, complain to who for what? not known for any success previously. I dont have anything to spare. I cant face the world today. I've started the week with falling out with a GP who doesn't know me but has again made a snap judgement. Enough is enough. Too ill to deal with the medical profession! xxx
You just do what you feel like doing Hun forget the NHS just get yourself back to health. This GP needs to get to know your background. Sorry your having such a hard time Hugs xx
