Hardly ever.

2. while you were in hospital did you get your Parkinson’s medication on time?

When I was transferred to another ward (a. m. u. ) my wife was told to take my medication home as the hospital had all that I needed. Unfortunately they did not so therefore I did not receive my morning dose and not all my last dose the night before. So that morning I was totally unable to feed myself, wash or dress which was very distressing for me.

When I was in A&E I was allowed to self medicate with no problems and all the staff were fine about it.

4. Any other comments?

I dread the thought of ever having to go into hospital again in case I have to go through the same experience.
