My mother was admitted to A & E yesterday by ambulance feeling unwell with a possible stroke. She was given an ECG and a CT scan fairly quickly but 6 hours later she was released without any communication other than saying that the scan was clear.
I'm disappointed that there was no or very little communication plus no food offered to an elderly diabetic who's physical condition worsened as a result of this lack of food.
I'd just like an insight into the decision so send my mother home because now we are back to square 1 and about to start the whole process off again to find out if she did have a stroke.
