Bambi, I am thinking of you at such a difficult time.  Especially as things weren't quite as they should have been at the hospital, I hope you can get some satisfaction from them.  But don't let it cloud your memories of your Dad, cherish them and remember the good times.  It is a difficult time but it will get better.  Thinking of you tomorrow, hope it goes well.  Take care.

I'm so angry l feel like telling the world  >:(  :'( l feel if it had happened another time of year he might still be with us.
He was fine in November,and lived in B'ham with my Sister and hubby.

This is what happened................


Dec 7th....My father became unwell and hadn't eaten for 3 days,was constipated and had probs with his waterworks,Doc visited and was left with a number of drugs which all proved ineffective.

Dec 9th....Doc called again,sent him to hospital,as his condition worsened,and his stomach had become distended.After about 5hrs in A&E he was admitted to hospital only to be sent home the following day,with some antibiotics for his bladder infection.By this time he was so weak,hallucinating,slurring his words,had a bad headache,and still had not eaten.

Dec 13th.....Doc called again, immediately sent for an ambulance as he believed his urine was "backing up",As usual a long wait in A&E before he was admitted.He was then catheterised and put on a drip,followed by some scans the following day.From the 16th onwards he had diarrhea,and by the 20th he had a bad cough.On the 21st he was told he had an enlarged prostate which would need an operation,and in spite of the fact he had diarrhea,a bad cough,could hardly walk he was so weak,and was virtually  incoherent,he was once again sent home hurriedly on the 24th DEC (Xmas eve)as they were closing the ward.He had NO medication and the family were given no instructions as to how to treat him.

Dec 26th (boxing day).........The district nurse popped in to see him and said he shouldn't have been sent home,contacted the Doc and phoned for an ambulance yet again.My hubby and myself were on our way up to B,ham for the family xmas party when this happened,so had this shock when we arrived.we ended up waiting in A&E for hours.Not sure what treatment,if any,they did in the hospital ?

Dec 28th.....The hospital sent him home with Furosemide water tablets,he was still suffering from diarrhea,still had problems with his waterworks,and disturbingly he seemed to have a slight paraysis of the facial muscles on the left hand side of his face,as well as a general lack of self awareness.

Jan 1st.....On this day my Sister noticed whilst washing his upper body that the hospital had left the drip needle embedded in his vein ( it had probably been there for some 14 days).

Jan 3rd......Doc arrived to take out the needle in his arm,and later that evening he died in his own bed .

How awful, Bambi. You must be filled with rage at such an unnecessary death and frustration at not being able to stop it happening. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[CotswoldLass]

Oh Bambi, I am so very sorry, that is a heartbreaking story. You must feel so angry and hurt. I don't know what to say to make it any better. Just feel for you and your family. CLx
