It hurts on many levels to hear this tale of lacklustre and incompetent care. Others have made suggestions and taken direct action on your behalf. I do hope you take the opportunity to complain at the highest level when you feel able to, it is the only way to get things out in the open and blast apart some of the myth. I work in the health service and would be more than happy to help in any way I can should you require.<br />My prayers are with you <br />Julia nb Even BalanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-55814036420792162202013-10-25T19:41:22.525+00:002013-10-25T19:41:22.525+00:00Hi Jaq,

Three years ago my husband was admitted for removal of gall bladder, a lack of nursing care following the procedure almost cost him his life had I not insisted that I stayed with him. For three days I refused to leave the hospital. I slept at his bedside and ate in the hospital canteen. I would not take no for an answer and still believe that my husband is still with me today because of my actions. If you feel as though you need to stay with Les then do it. Your story is truly horrifying. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Like any reader of your posts I am appalled, angry and upset about what you and Les are going through. Frankly I would like to take the complacent incompetent nursing staff of that ward and drown the lot of them..<br />Hoping that things get better for you both and Les recovers asap and can put this awful period behind him.<br />LesleyNb Yarwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806115768980012184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-23524147510449349042013-10-25T18:03:16.734+00:002013-10-25T18:03:16.734+00:00I think the previous comment from Carol says it al...I think the previous comment from Carol says it all. <br />Hope to hear that today has been better. xAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-68396595959815566802013-10-25T08:41:00.069+00:002013-10-25T08:41:00.069+00:00Also you could tweet @SamanthaJNHS and send her t...Also you could tweet @SamanthaJNHS and send her the link to this blog - I did as soon as I had read about the situation.

Ignore the PAL, the complaint should be written and sent directly to the hospitals chief executive Samantha Jones - you could even comment on her blog -- (http://www.westhertshospitals.nhs.uk/newsandmedia/chiefexecutiveblog/default.asp<br /><br />There is a list of the hospital board members on the hospital website<br />http://www.westhertshospitals.nhs.uk/about/whos_who.asp<br /><br />They will have a procedure to follow re the timeliness of reply this info will also be on the website. You really do need to start the complaint as soon as you can find a few minutes to start the letter and follow it up as and when you feel the need to inform them of the catalogue of events that you and Les are experiencing.<br /><br />Along with all your friends we feel helpless and wish that there was more, something, anything, that we could do to make the situation you find yourselves in easier.<br /><br />With you all the way, Carol and George.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.com
