"Lack of follow up"

I was taken by ambulance 8 months ago to Hairmyers hospital where it transpired, I had had a couple of heart attacks, the cardiologist inserted a stent into my heart and after being treated I was sent home with a letter to return for further treatment and follow up four months later. I was given medication and was under the impression that I would need further stents fitting.

I attended the local hospital- Ayr, where I was informed that they knew all about me and told me I was in a bad way. I asked if anything was going to be done, and was told that I wasn’t on the list.

After further contact with cardiology, it seems that neither Hairmyers nor Ayr hospital have me down for any further treatment yet I know I need further stents fitting.

At one point, about six months after my surgery, I applied for more pills, my GP said he would get in touch with the hospital. I was then told that my medication for my coronary care had been removed. No explanation was given as to why this tablet that I am supposed to take for a year to prevent blood clots was stopped.

The entire situation is ridiculous, I have not been monitored for over a year – not even had my pulse taken!

I received a telephone consultation, but they wouldn’t listen, wouldn’t answer my questions and then the battery died on my phone.

I am paralyzed from the waist down.

I have been back in touch with  Ayr who have told me I am not being monitored even though I need operations, have suggested I go private.

I would just like some answers.
