Urgent Day Patient appointment for my cousin

Posted By delphinusne47

"Urgent Day Patient appointment for my cousin"

About: Inverclyde Royal Hospital / Accident & Emergency Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Day surgery

(as a relative),

My cousin was permitted to go home with a bleeding aneurism from IRH and advised she would be contacted as a day patient to have it clipped / coiled as a day patient.  She was also advised in normal circumstances, she would have been moved directly from IRH to QEUH but due to it being havoc within QEUH, it would be best to send her home as we had a close family funeral to attend. 

Her son has been waiting on a phone call all day.  Can someone help please?
