"DAD"

About: Watford General Hospital

Dad admitted to hospital for the fourth time released and home and then another ambulance called but checked out and left at home.

Further ambulance called and taken in for 4 weeks and 3 days, released as being ok.

Only home from Friday 17.20pm, but by Monday approx. 11.00pm taken in again for the same problem,

Extremely Low Blood Pressure.

Has been in for a further 2 weeks, despite requesting to see a DOCTOR have never seen one,

Now they are wanting to sent him home.

All very well but no one has stated why this is happening.

went there today to see Dad, but was refused entry, as told Doctors were on rounds.

I ask to go in to see Doctor as not being able to see before and was told that this was not possible.

Despite having a call Sunday stating they were going to release my Dad, I was not aloud in and was accused of speaking to a member of staff inappropriately and was told in no uncertain terms I would not be aloud in until gone 1.00 pm.!!!!!

I then told HER she can therefore tell my Dad I would not be back today and would await for a call for his release and someone else would have to bring him home, for as I am the main Carer and I am about the only one he really now knows, but I will not return to there, so other arrangements will have to be made re Dads return home.
