"my dad"

My dad has bowel and liver cancer which is bad enough he has had a op for a stoma and has really been through it

But two weeks ago he came in with a infection .he was given antibiotics on a drip for two weeks the doctors said they couldn’t find the infection .he was getting weaker and weaker as he wasn’t eating and feeling sick two days before he came home the patient in the next bed to my dad had bowel and liver cancer same as my dad but he was dying this man was not in a room on his own even though doctors and staff knew he only had days this poor man died my dad had to witness this the same illnesss my dad had no dignity was given to this man and his family or anyone else in that ward it was dissgracfull

The doctor told my dad he could go home even though my dad said he still didn’t feel well . My dad just got worse at home over the week he began wetting himself being very confused and still wasn’t eating .we took him back to hospital for a doctor to say he was well enough to go home

My dad is now back In Hospital after a terrible week

And guess what he still had the same infection a which he has had for three weeks we have just been told it must of been a urine infection how could they not find it first time round

And let him home while he was still ill

I’ve never known a place like it

You can’t get through on phones when you call the wards

The staff are not helpful the care is absolutely shocking

My dad is a person who is loved by his family

He is not a job
