Discharged, but clearly a long way from being better

"Discharged, but clearly a long way from being better"

About: Medway Maritime Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as a relative),

My partner was admitted to Medway Hospital regarding   swollen and inflamed leg and hands also he had trouble breathing. They kept him in for 4 days and I took him out side for the first time in a wheelchair and when I took him back to his ward ( will adams) the nurse turned around and said that they had discharged him and he clearly is a long way from better and symptoms have worsened. I feel this is not acceptable at all as now he is unable to go to the toilet has pains in lower back trouble breathing running a high temperature and legs and hands are still inflamed.
