My husband was admitted to A& E at the Victoria hospital Blackpool on a Monday at the beginning of July late afternoon. Seen by doctor and then waited on a chair till 11am next day. I appreciate and understand the pressures in our NHS and A& E but this timescale is unacceptable.
Admitted to AMU where he received no food or water until I asked. Basic care was sub standard. Informed that emergency MRI required and could take up to 48 hours. No MRI carried out and discharged home. No communication regarding date /Time for MRI until I contacted MRI department. Given a date for a MRI but sadly my husband passed away a few days prior.
Feel let down by the NHS.
