I think the heath services is going down hill and im only 46 and have experienced this....Been left alone for hrs in pain and when you ask for something they say they will get you something and then forget about you....I know they are busy but it's their job... |

We have recently had 3 elderly family members in hospital. My Mum's partner has fared the worst and is still suffering, although no longer in hosp. To my mind, he has had appalling care. My Mum had a hip replacement and was in and out quickly (in the same hospital). She commented that there was a marked difference in the quality of care since her knee operation 3 years ago, i.e. it was worse. Both Mum and partner also had to fight to get operations in the first place - Mum was fobbed off twice until she saw the senior consultant, he immediately put her on the urgent list! Just not joined up..... :-( I assume the thinking is that you'll 'pop off' if told to wait another 6 months..... |

My mum had one of her faulty heart valves (diagnosed at birth, should have been dead by 9, should never have had children, when she lived beyond 9 - had 4!) operated on aged 79!! |

Don't talk to me about hip replacements....check my board name! Butchered nearly 5 years ago and at last I found a surgeon earlier this year who is prepared to correct the gross errors. |
