My dad was admitted to A&E as a precautionary measure with a possible stroke. His bloods were taken on first admission and passed on down the queue to wait to see a doctor.
He was discharged from hospital with the tube still in his arm- not noticed by a family member until 3 days later. We are shocked this wasn't removed prior to him being discharged.
