"Further to they don't know what's going on"

About: Watford General Hospital

My wife had a problem with involuntary movements in arms and legs and went to the doctor. The doctor took her blood pressure which was high so insisted she went into hospital. A&E and AAU, where she was admitted, completely ignored the involuntary movements and spent the whole time worrying about her blood pressure which, as is usual when there are doctors around. Of course there was no attempt to find the cause of the high blood pressure, just an insistence that it must be brought down. One has to wonder if these doctors ever do diagnosis.

Eventually she left the hospital with a cannula still in her arm and the involuntary movements undiagnosed.
