My father was taken into hospital in the early hours by paramedics to be treated for a chest infection.
He had a fever, heavy cough, suffering hallucinations and had a very weak voice.
Two district nurses attended at the home address and were apprised of the circumstances.
One of the nurses had previously visited my father to dress his sores.
This nurse stated that when they had attended to my father on that day, they were of the opinion that he had pneumonia.
When challenged as to why they saw fit to leave and take no further action - ie request GP attendance or summon ambulance - they remained absolute that they had done no wrong and apportioned blame on my family.
