My dad unfortunately was rushed in to be treated for a TIA on Thursday however this wasn't diagnosed until the Saturday, after much back and forth over what he was being treated for and the MRI results. From the start his treatment plan and notes were wrong due to assumptions about his condition. It wasn't until we're were finally able to see a doctor on Saturday to go through everything that the scan was looked at properly and a correct diagnosis was made.
He was told he was being discharged on Monday yet came home without a treatment plan, tablets to prevent a further TIA or stroke in the future and wrong and missing notes on his discharge papers even though amendments were made on the Saturday.
Eastbourne DGH have said they will correct this with the doctor however they are doing this through a doctor that hasn't treated or assessed him.
