Hospital failure

My hubby Jim would still be here if it wasn’t for my local hospital. They didn’t care for him properly and as a result he got sepsis and died. I have a complaint about his care going at moment and received a letter today saying its going to take longer now for me to get the answers I need. What’s taking so long this has been going on since about December now I’m expecting a cover up They all stick together . The whole thing stinks and I need to know what they did to my poor husband he didn’t deserve to be treated like that. I’m heard that a lot of people have gone to KGH and died from sepsis . Its a filthy hospital and I will never forgive them. I’m so angry at the moment. I wish he hadn’t gone in there in the first place.

I feel the same the way my husband was treated when he went in hospital . He went in on the Tuesday and died on the Friday. I just wish he hadn’t gone in . I might have had him with me for a bit longer. X

My husband went into hospital on a Saturday with stomach ache.
Turns out he had internal bleeding. (Perforated duodenum) he died on Wednesday morning, because of covid I wasn’t allowed to visit him. They called me Wednesday morning and said come quickly, by the time I got there he had died.
I feel like I died with him. I wasn’t able to tell him that I loved him, that’s something I have to live with, I’m living in hell

I also was to late to be with my husband when he died I asked them to phone me if any change . They phoned me half seven Friday morning I was there within ten minutes as I don’t live far from hospital but he was gone when I got there . I regret not stopping with him all night but thought he would be looked after better without me there . I have to live with this feeling and guilt that I let him down when he needed me most x

My husband also ended up in King George Hospital with sepsis during December of 2021. He then caught Covid there and didn’t stand a chance. Like you I initiated an enquiry but yes they closed ranks. I can’t tell you how much I hate that hospital. I never wanted him to go there and fought to get him transferred but due to Covid it was futile. I’m haunted to this day about what went on in there as we were not able to visit and he was not in his right frame of mind so we couldn’t even speak directly to him. I’m suffering from daily flashbacks of that time. I don’t think they looked after him and will never know what happened. I’ll never have closure and will go to my own grave with this. I live close to this wretched hospital and don’t even like to go out for a walk because I can’t go anywhere near it. It just triggers so many bad memories.

Hi sakinah my KGH is Kettering general hospital they are bloody useless. I hate em for killing my hubby

When I saw KGH in your post I thought it was King George Hospital, Goodmayes as it obviously has the same abbreviation. I hundred percent share your feelings. I’ll never be able to trust that hospital again.

I’m still waiting for them to tell me why it happened and why they didn’t help him. I know it won’t bring Jim back buy I feel I need answers for him. I wish he had never gone in if I had known wot was going to happen he wouldn’t have but we can’t see the future and you think you can trust doctors well I’m learnt a lesson there I will never trust a doctor ever

So sorry for your loss. I also feel very let down by the NHS :disappointed:

So so sorry for your loss. I feel the same. I wake every morning and as soon as I realise I’m on my own my eyes start burning. My husband died in Bournemouth hospital in June 2020

I one hundred percent understand where you’re coming from. I also wanted answers and it consumed me . People told me don’t get your hopes up and sure enough they closed ranks and very cleverly navigated their way around all my questions without really answering them. Everything is obscured by the blanket of Covid. I can’t even begin to describe the anger and frustration I feel. Like you I know it won’t bring him back but not knowing is torment. My My mind turns over and over like a cement mixer. I have lost all faith in the doctors. People told me I may benefit from counselling but I didn’t even want to reach out to my GP surgery. I want nothing to do with doctors. For one year now I’ve got by on my own strength despite the daily flashbacks and trauma that haunts me. It’s probably not not ideal and I don’t know how this will affect my mental wellbeing down the road. Covid has a lot to answer for.

Misprint, my wife, took sepsis .A week before, I requested a urine sample, but the doctor refused . I phone up that Friday morning and asked the doctor to call and see my wife .
The only reason my wife agreed to go into hospital was because she wanted to live.
7 hours later, the hospital phoned me to tell me they were stopping the special drug unreal .
She had cancer, but she could have had another few months .
If only they helped her.Cant go into many details because I have my lawyer on to it .Of course, I believe they hide information . But I am not angry. I am degusted at the care she received. But I made a promise on her death bed.That I will not let them of the hook, god spares me .If it saves another person from suffering the same .
