My husband went for a routine abdominal examination just before Christmas and he was fit and well then inexplicably 2 hours later I have a doctor telling me he’s dead. The police are investigating it appears that for no reason anyone can explain they detained him, sedated him, then sedated him again and he died just being supervised by a security guard. I have no answers and can see no reason to go on. I have no relatives and we’re it not for our dogs I would find a way to not be here

Take good care,

So sorry for your loss, especially given the circumstances around it
I don’t really have any words of comfort - it’s tragic and hope you get some answers - I know that doesn’t change the outcome

Thank you everyone I have such a sickening feeling the hospital are doing everything to cover it up I’m praying I get justice for my husband. Doctors strike, Christmas time staffing levels should not mean such poor care or such invasive treatment results in senseless death

Teary widow. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it won’t bring your beloved back but have you complained to the hospital. I lost my wee wifey almost 2 years ago and I put in a complaint. It wont bring her back but the hospital are now making steps to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.

Thanks yes I’ve complained they’ve tried to imply he was on his last legs. I’m going to sue them I will have to. There was nothing wrong with him and they out and out killed him through sheer negligence and malpractice and although I support the nhs this is unlawful killing. Someone needs to be accountable. Staying angry is keeping me from my devastation and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad

Yes, I believe that a medical negligence case is the only way to get through.

In my experience of working in a hospital, complaints just don’t cut it. Even on the good wards with good staff, responding to complaints is just an administrative task, that they grow immune to.
I have no intention of writing a complaint about my dad’s treatment; I’ll leave that to the solicitors when they file a case for negligence.

Even though the NHS have killed my husband I blame the ruthless underfunding of the Tories over 14 years they can’t personally make long term money from it ( apart from ppe fraud) so they want to sell it off to their mates.

Well i dont agree with that entirely tbh because they had a lot of money poured in and it wasn’t the tories that messed up on my husbands diagnosis either ! but i dont want to get into the politics tbh so personally i dont want to discuss it further …

I agree. The stats support what you say. It’s been criminally underfunded, and it shows. I worked in ‘business transformation’ at 1 acute trust, and it was absolutely terrible, the pressure that the managers were under to make savings, left, right and centre. Horrible.

Really … i dunno but they keep saying theyre putting money into it ? I dont trust any of these politicians - theyre all talk and no action !! But equally drs and specialist need to do their job properly too … it used to be a vocation not all about how much you earned … e.g. florence nightingale … and these strikes really dont help either !! And btw i used to work in NHS …
