My grandson attended Kent and Canterbury, after seeing doctor was transferred to William Harvey. Doctors said his heart was racing but it couldn’t be monitored because no beds were available ( he did explain it may be genetic, his Mother has cardiomyopathy and he had been waiting for tests).
He then phoned 101 who were very helpful and made an appointment for 5pm with a doctor in Canterbury, who reassured him and said Kings College Hospital would be notified. But he was then told if he wanted medication he would have to drive to Hospital in Margate (a 36 mile round trip). Baring in mind he is unwell, frightened and also suffers with BPD I think his treatment so far is not satisfactory.
"Disjointed treatment after suffering palpitations."
