Bits of me know, of course, but I feel like this can’t be real, this can’t have happened. My husband was killed by the NHS. Reluctantly they handed over copies of the medical records and there it is in black and white. They used two drugs combined to sedate him without ever contacting me about sedating him and their own guidelines state these drugs are never to be used together as they can cause death and he only became confused because they didn’t give him antibiotics even though they said at the beginning he needed urgent IV antibiotics. No registration no funeral no answers no inquest the police have said his death was natural. I’ve insisted they review that. I still do everything the way he would do I want him to come back and resume our lives. He was only 59 and wasn’t ill except he’d got an infection. Sometimes I cry so much I neatly vomit. No children no relatives no point living
So sorry for your loss xx
Have you looked into a medical malpractice claim? There are solicitors advertising it on the radio at the moment.
Of course it won’t bring him back, but it would bring him justice, it would give you a cause to work towards in his name - a reason to get up in the morning, and it will help prevent this happening to someone else. If it was a malpractice then they need to be made accountable and reviewed to stop history repeating itself. 
Yes I’ve taken in some solicitors who feel I have a very strong case for malpractice and negligence even so they think it might take two years + to come to court
Thank you it’s kind of you
That’s terrible. Lots of NHS failures to be found on this site. When you refer to their guidelines, are they national guidelines?
@TearyWidow I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve just passed week 2 of my 49yo wife passing away. I’m completely broken and I can’t see the point of anything.
No I can’t see any point going on it seems perfectly logical that I should die soon
Week two is very new I’m still on days but many more even though my lovely man is still in a mortuary- I hope you find some strength and some peace of mind
Yes NHS guidelines say:
“Haloperidol and lorazepam IM should no longer be used routinely in combination. The data sheet for lorazepam IM states that there have been reports of apnoea, coma, bradycardia, heart arrest and death with the concomitant use of lorazepam injection solution and haloperidol”
So very sorry at your loss.
We had real problems with the NHS as well. Janet my partner of 32 years. Passed away January 17 th ,two days later her Tamoxifen tablets arrived. She’d been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer Nov 1st. She wasn’t offered chemotherapy when she had a mastectomy Sept 22. Apparently no need. According to news it’s becoming standard not to offer Pensioners it ,to save cost.
I haven’t persued legal as I’m grieving and I’m sure this would take over my remaining life. I’m sure they would cover it up. They spend more on top lawyers than some basic care.
Thinking of you…xxx
Sorry to hear about your beloved wife. I’m pursuing this down the legal route now because my husband should not be dead he had no life threatening illness just popped in for a scan. The way I’ve been treated so far has enraged me and being angry is a distraction from the tattered remains of my life I suppose. This is a good forum because we know grief and its many forms, doesn’t make it better but at least we’re not alone
Tearywidow,
So very sorry for your loss,hope you can get support from the NHS as what happened ,
Take care
Hugs
Susie
Good luck to you and I hope you get the justice you deserve. For you and your dear husband. X

My husbands case took 5.5 years to settle
I’ve got a new solicitor who is no win no fee they specialise in medical negligence they are on the U.K. top 500 solicitors so I’m hoping they are good they seem very thorough at this point
Thank you Susie
My Husbands case will also go into 5 years,it is a very hard road to be on , I just want accountability and common decency. My lovely man asked me to follow this up when he realised his care had been so poor. To watch someone suffering on a daily basis is both soul destroying and traumatic, and I don’t think I will ever get over seeing him suffering so much.It is made all the worse by trusting an nhs and having faith that they are doing their best.
I loved him from the minute I saw him almost 40years ago, I will love him eternally,
