This is so typical of our lovely N&N, I nearly lost my daughter because the doctors wouldn't listen properly. We owe her life to a wonderful nurse who took notice and appropriate action. I too complained to PALS but they were worse than useless too. Good luck and I hope the clots clear up quickly x

Perrie you have a right to complain, we all have a grumble now and then. You should not have to puit up with that sort of thing as a recently bereaved person with an ill son to care for. You were very ill yourself and as a pensioner and carer should have received better care. Hope you get some sleep now and recover a little soon, take care and best wishes for improvement xx
