Rang 999 twice for swmbo, came out of hospital on Thursday and is in agony, terrible service in hospital, long story.................

Could not stand to see her in such pain tonight, been to the GP today who put her on stronger pain killers........

No nurse rang back so rang 999 again, they were helpful but frustrating, they would send an ambulance but would have to wait in A&E, get a doctor to come out with Morphine.....better alternative.....

Doctor rang, said to x3 one particular med, if not work then to the drop in for morphine, waiting to see if her med knocks her out.............

Sorry, ranting but what do you do when your nearest and dearest is crying in pain, again, and she is no wimp.......

I have had Lung Cancer and know what pain is all about, but never pain like this........

[MR MISTER]

So, so sorry, Mike. I do hope the meds worked eventually.
I thought she was on the mend.

[Andy B]

We all need a rant at some time ...... it makes us feel better even though it might not achieve anything else. 

I hope she starts to feel better soon on her triple dose

A very familiar story unfortunately.Had almost exactly the same thing here on several occasions. Essex ambulance service is unfortunately,completely unfit for purpose. Almost 3 hours to send an ambulance,on three occasions, when the nearest ambulance station is less than 2 miles away.
Similar with the local hospital.The list of horror stories goes on and on.
Private at every opportunity is the mindset here now.Its a whole different world.
Hope your wife gets better soon Mike.

Very true that.


FFS, i'd have dragged the doctor out by the gonads if he did to any of my family 
Fingers crossed for your missus Mike

It's not nice to see a loved one in pain.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mrs Vamps.

Thank you for your kind comments, they are much appreciated........

Got the duty GP this morning who arranged an immediate script for Morphine, and a further appointment with a nurse and doctor together at lunch time, increased meds and Morphine do seem to be helping a lot, she also has an appointment every 2 days to get a new 'special' dressing on....

She has had a good couple of hours flat out this evening, the first deep sleep for weeks, so lets hope this is the beginning of the end............

She was discharged from hospital last Thursday, that was a poor experience as well, her stay in James Cooke hospital Middlesbrough, having had an apparent successful procedure- angiogram and angioplasty (sp?) and told that the abscess would sort itself out not the blood was flowing......

Should add, our GP's and nurses are excellent.........
