My husband was admitted to Exeter hospital in October. He is 79 years old, and on dialysis. His blood count had dropped and he was breathless and getting chest pains. He was on Creedy ward.
Last Friday evening a doctor called me and said they didn’t expect him to last the night. They thought he had had a heart attack and also had pneumonia.
He was taken to the dialysis unit this evening and given 2 units of blood. After the dialysis the porter took him to another ward. Avon ward. But no one has explained anything to him, he was left by a bed. Then someone brought his things and dumped them by his bed, again not even acknowledging him. My husband is a mild mannered person and was feeling too exhausted to ask. He was left to get himself into bed. I said to him get to sleep and I will call them in the morning. It’s very scary for me, him and his sons.
