My mom was admitted in January with vomiting with blood loss.
Admittance in A and E was very good and she was kept well informed, sent to a ward where she received good care, but was not always kept informed of what the Care Plan was needed a Hernia Operation Urgently but sent home as she was not fit to have it after 12 days of liquid only, home for about a week and a half, had to call Paramedics out as she was ill again and very week should have been built up at home with nasal food drip or kept in hospital, finally had Hernia operation, patients very ill informed and seems to be a lack of communication between Doctors all the time, today after another 10 days in hospital said she could be discharged at 11am after waiting for prescription till 8pm they are ready to discharge a 74 year old lady into the dark really shouldn't be sending people home this late.
"Communication Please"
