Hospital Errors, Enough is Enough!

What is up with hospitals today, we know these people are stretched, but that’s no reason to get slapdash.
Another poor woman goes to hospital with severe stomach pains and passing blood. Records show over time she was seen by ten doctors. She was treated like a nuisance, told she was anorexia or had depression and given paracetimol.
She was finally given a CT Scan for all the good that did, and was told she was riddled with tumours and now with no chance of survival.
A spokeswoman from Heartland Hospital said we are very sorry for her concerns. OK that makes it alright then I suppose.
If it had been a relative of theirs treated like this I’ve no doubt they would have created merry hell.
It’s not the first time this has happened and no doubt will not be the last.
Defiantly not it seems for another poor chap in Nottingham had a brain tumour the size of a lemon, this he suffered for four years, a doctor failed to examine his scan results which were only discovered when he went to a different hospital, thank goodness somebody was on the ball.
We know all hospitals are not the same, I had surgery at my local hospital in Hastings and could not have been treated better, From the nurses to the Surgeon I was treated as if I were their only patient. Well done the Conquest Hospital.
