Remember to thank a Tory for this, their need to punch down on everyone trumps your need for healthcare.
How many new hospitals got built with all that Brexit bus money?
Tbf, as someone who has had sepsis a stupid amount of times, it does not always require hospitalisation.
Not sure I believe all this. My flatmate is a doctor and she told me the hospitals are very quiet here, even showed my photos. Pretty confident this is all fear mongering.
Edit: keep all the downvotes coming chaps, just relaying what I’ve been told by a doctor! All in denial, clearly.
They diagnosed her with sepsis then said meh bye?
If left untreated death is around 12 hours if your frail. She would have had been in a awful state at discharge. Probably unconscious near death.
Yeah not adding up here at all. Congratulations to the people that will try and use this as proof that the Tory party will end free health care.
They will never ever end the nhs being free. No party would or could.
The nhs is overloaded and in the shit but attempting to spin it into “ o it’s so they can privatise it” is laughable
Edit I see a lot of downvotes
If someone could reply with any proof the nhs will be a pay or die American system I’m all ears. I thought it was sold to trump in a trade deal a few years back.
If the discussion is how you shouldn’t wait wait 12 hours to be seen and it’s underfunded then I will agree .
This article is written really unclearly.
As far as I can piece together, the family called an ambulance because she was unwell, and the paramedics diagnosed suspected sepsis and took her to A&E, where she was faced with a long wait and no bed, and forced to wear a face mask, but eventually she did have tests done and was told she was not septic and sent home.
They later got a letter saying that although she wasn’t septic, she did have an infection, and are now making a complaint to the hospital.
Obviously the issues with long waiting times in A&E are unacceptable and are well documented across the whole country, but theres nothing in this article to suggest that the hospital was wrong to have sent her home. Hospitals are dangerous places, especially for the elderly. If you don’t absolutely need to be there, you definitely shouldn’t be pushing to stay. So many people die from hospital acquired infections after being admitted for relatively non-lethal things like fractures or unmet care needs.
“Diagnosed with suspected sepsis”.
The NHS is in a bad state, the media don’t need to sensationalise stories to get the point across
Quite gross but I have a similar story.
I had a cyst develop and kept getting fobbed off by my GP. I was in so much pain I ended up going to A+E and they told me I needed surgery to remove it as it got infected and needed cutting out. The doctor told me he wanted me to stay the night but there were no beds as he was concerned I had sepsis (my blood work came back and he told me the infection was in my bloodstream). I went home, the damn thing popped at home and I was in even more pain. Finally I had surgery the following morning and it was sorted. I remember that night though and how horrific it was. I really should’ve stayed at the hospital.
Where’s the number for my lawyer ….
As soon as I was well enough I’d sue the fuckers.
Can’t blame covid for this one. When we gonna do something about these cunts in charge?
I mean, they voted Tory right. This is what they want right?
Tbf even private health care sucks. I have to do a mixture of both and with NHS I’ve been sent around in so many circles and done 6 blood tests this year, 3-4 were not even recorded somehow!? For one thing I decided to go private rather than wait 2 years in an NHS que, but even then they were late and made random assumptions unrelated to my medical history, infact my report from the private place had my name right but said at some point I was an older lady (male) so it’s probably half wrong
Pendant warning.
Suspected anything in hospital does not mean you have it.
The voters are finally getting the broken services they helped to enable. Police, courts, ambulance crews, teachers, dentistry, mental health, social care, community nursing, cancer care, routine surgery, A&E, are all utterly fucked. Well done Tories and most of all Tory voters 🙂
That isn’t good. The lady sounded like she has been dealt with a death sentence. Hope she gets better treatment soon
