I think all the doctors nurses at queens do a grand job I have worked with them daily and I see how strained and overworked they can be, but they all deal with it professionally. Government and MPs who decide on funding need to shadow a doctor at queens for 3x12 hrs and see how physically and mentally draining it can be especially when they are at their busiest time. thanks all!~ Linda West majakelhttp://majakel.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-2496420220434080972013-10-30T18:22:44.861+00:002013-10-30T18:22:44.861+00:00I'm really sorry this happened like this, Lisa...I'm really sorry this happened like this, Lisa. It's tough enough to lose your Mum in your 20s, let alone with the sense that it might have been preventable or - at the very least - she may have been made more comfortable during those last two years. I have heard before of women's heart symptoms being dismissed as indigestion or panic. It's dreadful.<br /><br />The next of kin thing makes so little sense, and is extremely angering. Among my friends and family, there's a young woman who was live-in carer to her grandmother for ten years - much closer than any of the old lady's children. There's an "auntie" who is in fact no relation at all, but is part of our family (her closest living blood relative is probably something like a second cousin). Then there's my friend whose closest relatives are the children he's been estranged from following divorce decades ago. There are loads of people for whom a closest living relative would not be the most concerned, or the best equipped, to fight their corner in life or death. <br /><br />Added to the fact that many of those most vulnerable to neglect, mistakes and abuse within the NHS are elderly, and therefore often have similarly elderly vulnerable spouses who, in grief, are in no position to fight at all...<br /><br />Once again, real sorry to read this story.

The system is not designed to empower those who it should be designed to empower. Surely anyone should be able to trigger an investigation into the situation your mum was in.<br /><br />I am so sorry that this happened in your family not just once but twice. baraktahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902481143758218283noreply@blogger.com
