My close family member is currently in a capacity ward in endoscopy. He's not independent and still needs a lot of care. I feel he should be in a medical ward as he has ongoing issues and needing treatment.
He's not been out of bed for 4 weeks, he also hasn't been properly showered. I had to point out to staff earlier in the week that a pressure sore dressing he had on was in desperate need of a change. The member of staff told me it had been on for 3 weeks prior! He also has been promised physio but no sign of that happening. He's wasting away and it's upsetting to see.
Although the doctor, when my we have spoke to him, is very informative. The only positive I can find out if this experience.
I'm hoping he will be transferred to a medical ward and get the care and treatment he deserves. We just want him to be in the correct ward and getting the attention he needs.
