My husband was admitted to the Surgical assessment unit on wednesday 28th November via his GP.He had scans and he was found to have a tumour outside his bowel.which had spread into his stomach.He as as been ill for several months now and as had two failed colonoscapys at Rotherham Hospital and scans arranged by both the Hallamshire hospital and Rotherham hospital.It as been difficult to find out what the treatment plan is due to lack of communication with the doctors.He as only had sips of water since his admittance and I am concerned his nutritional needs are not being met.He as struggled to get any rest as an elderly person in the opposite bed as kept him awake all night.This person clearly as dementia and I witnessed nursing staff today ignoring this elderly persons plea for help.I an concerned that my husbands health needs are not going to be met within this hospital.
