"Poor hospital"

About: Tameside General Hospital

My partner had the misfortune at attend this hospital on Wednesday last week and despite presenting with specific problems they seem to have been ignored. She was sent for a doppler test for a dvt despite no symptoms and was seen by an individual in A & E who did not introduce themselves and had no ID. they discharged my partner without telling us what they thought the problem was. On Friday I took her to the MRI in Manchester as a result of the pain that she was in and she was diagnosed with CES a serious spinal neuro problem. After scans and MRIs were carried out she was transferred to Hope Hospital in Salford for emergency surgery. Tamesides inactions could have cost my partner her life at worst or severe disablement at best.
