The staff had no idea about Parkinsons or the importance of getting medication on time. When I went into hospital there was quite a discussion about my medication and it was my wife and daughter who suggested I sign a self medication form otherwise I would still be arguing.
It was agreed I self medicate, but I had to ring for a nurse every dose. I would ring and a nurse would pop her head inside my door, I would tell them I was self medicating and off they went!!
Other than some of the medical staff seeming to have no idea or knowledge about Parkinsons, treatment was good by nursing staff.
