"The passing of my wife"

The hospital staff at the time of my wife's passing was impeccable looking after her. However, I think more could had been done for her.

My wife had a history of being unwell for many years. I'm annoyed at my local GP, trying to get an appointment about her health, waiting days for blood results and even longer when whey could not find a vein and such. Everything took too long in diagnosing what was wrong with my wife, I felt in many cases it was a case of too many cooks spoil the broth.

My wife has been back and forth to hospital many times throughout her ill life period. I think more could have been done for her, instead of being passed from doctor to doctor.

My wife was verbal when she was admitted, but 12 days later she mentioned to the nurses she did not feel right and went ignored. Instead of running tests to see what was wrong, her condition greatly went downhill very quickly. Then she passed away two days later. I asked many times to give her a drip for food, as she was constantly being sick in her time at the hospital from the time of her admission. All I got was that it's the dietician's decision for that call.

There were too many different doctors for too many areas of expertise, and the information could had been forwarded a bit quicker to find the reason of my wife's ill health, she might still had been here today. I'm really angry to be honest about the doctors. The nurses done a great job, but the doctors were useless in my opinion.

She was given a direct line into her neck just before she passed. Why was that not done when she was admitted? They could see she was being sick, and extremely underweight.

They put a camera down her throat, which she had to be sedated for. I got a call five hours later telling me she is not coming out of the sedation, the doctor explained her body was full of carbon monoxide, and if she did not come out of the sedation a brain scan might have to be done or put onto an oxygen machine, not something I wanted for her. She eventually came out of sedation an hour later, after I seen her and for the next few days I knew something was wrong mentally with her, she was confused at sending me messages, confused on how to operate her phone to ring me. Why did the doctors or whoever at the time not notice this?

I have a full recorded conservation with her on messenger and half of it did not make sense, so I knew something was wrong. I feel that if the lapse in time for tests and such had not been so long, my wife might had been here today with me, it makes me angry to be honest.

My wife was my life, I cared and loved her for much even in her ill health state over the past years, but she was still living with me. My wife had been in hospital that often we all honestly thought she would be back home again. Now I have her in an urn behind me, and memories for company.
