As mother taken in 999 call to amu to investigate issues which revealed gallstone.
Taken to another ward (respiratory) only to be told 5 days later she had chest infection but also need gallbladder removal (recently already on waiting list for) but requiring bed on surgical ward but a bed shortage.
Now no chest infection present and all obs good however, been told to go home with buscapan and painkillers and come back at later date. By this time no doubt she will be readmitted as ill with her copd condition and again although a severe gallstone problems will again be sent home.
Totally disgusted with how someone who is as well with their copd can be yet told will not operate on gallbladder as to come back as an elected surgery.
NHS wasting more money than enough.
Shameful
"Gallbladder surgery"
