Oom Rob, you are all still in our thoughts and prayers :lovef: Your thoughts for my daughter - Oom Rob - 28-03-2006 I despair!! When Ruth and I went into visit this morning she was ready for coming home - she is no better than when she went in and the pain is just as bad. Ruth went off to find the Specialist and he told her that he "knows there is something wrong but I cannot find it" - so he is sending Wendy home with anti-depressents!! When Ruth tried to ask him a few questions he walked away - I am in despair as my daughter is in pain and nobody appears interested. Your thoughts for my daughter - TracyW - 28-03-2006 Hi Oom Rob Apologies but I have only seen this now, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family. :hug: Your thoughts for my daughter - Strawbs - 28-03-2006 Thinking of you all so much at the moment.. :berry: :hug: Your thoughts for my daughter - Ade - 28-03-2006 Unc. You must be so frustrated and distressed... I thought this Specialist was going to get to the bottom of it. I wonder what he would do if she were his own daughter...? We have a friend who was in a great deal of discomfort for a long time after an awkward birth... They eventually discovered a needle had been left inside her - impossible as that may seem to use simple laymen...It was not obvious from the initial x-ray but a later one from another angle revealed it ad: Your thoughts for my daughter - mcamp999 - 28-03-2006 Oom Rob Wrote:I despair!! Rob The Rob I know will not take this lying down, what can the next step be, a letter to your MP? I can only imagine the agony as a parent having to watch this unfold. If there is anything we can do to help, i.e. finding out what avenues to explore etc. then please let us know. Mal Your thoughts for my daughter - oe-la-la - 28-03-2006 Oom Rob Wrote:I despair!! Dear Oom Rob, I just cannot understand that this is happening in today's day and age of 2006! It is just totally unacceptable that Wendy is in pain and they want to discharge her home....it is your right as a NHS patient to demand a second opinion, if you feel the consultant in charge of her care do not do enough to try and get to the bottom of this. He need to refer her to a colleauge or even another hospital with more specialist care if needed. Wendy can also ask to be reviewed by the 'painteam' (this is normally led by a consultant anaesthetist and a team that specialise in pain management) and be on appropiate painkillers. As a member of the profession it is just hard and frustrating when reading things like this :wall: Best of luck with this situation, and do let us know how she is getting on :hug: Your thoughts for my daughter - Oom Rob - 29-03-2006 Thank you for all your words of advice and your kindness. Obviously a person like me will not take this lying down, but to have 'reacted' yesterday would have been wrong, because I may have said something that I would have later regretted. Having had the chance to look at things as they stand, I now know my course of action and will be discussing it with my daughter and her partner later today. Several years ago on Robin's very first day at High School he was tripped and broke his ankle. Everything was going well until we took him for his routine check-up when a stupid young House Doctor stated that he did not have a broken ankle and sent him home without the plaster. I do not think the Chief Executive knew what hit him because within 24 hours he had received a solicitors letter, a phone call from my MP and several other prominent people - that Robin was recalled to the hospital, new x-rays taken that clearly showed the ankle was still broken. Eventually Ruth and I decided not to sue, and accepted their apologies - so I think that if my daughter allows, I am going to go down similar lines with this case. To be honest I detest doing this, as in many other matters the hospital has done us proud, but I am not prepared to stand by and see my daughter suffer. Will keep you informed as to what transpires. Your thoughts for my daughter - Joan - 29-03-2006 Oom Rob I know you will take this further and as OLL says, it is your right to demand a second opinion.. Problem is just that all the consultants mainly do private work and only a few hours per week for the NHS Please keep us informed |
