Just don’t where to start such a long story, and never ending nightmare but will keep it as short as possible, my partner had a fall on the 24th of october 2022 and that’s when the nightmare began, he passed a large amount of blood after in the toilet, straight away I took him to A&E we were waiting to be seen for 11 hours, then was told to take him to another hospital at 3am in the morning for further investigations, I told them he needed a scan but because the bleeding had stopped they discharged him, over the next few weeks this kept happening he had so many colonoscopy’s also blood transfusions which is ridiculous, he was admitted and discharged, I insisted they were missing something they diagnosed him with hemmoroids, each time I requested a scan but it didn’t happen just kept discharging him, the 24th of November he had some seizure in my car, I rushed him back to the hospital, he was given oxygen and another blood transfusion and they called the gastro team but they did not come, I stayed with him he was loosing clots of blood, he was just given medication to stop the bleeding which I now no caused the blood clots, still no scan was given
I kept saying he needs a scan they are missing something the doctor on duty agreed but could still not get hold of the gastro team
11pm my partner told me to go home and he would be ok he would ring me in the morning
and sure enough he FaceTimed me at 10.15am and told me he was finally going for a scan I was so relieved, the next phone call my life changed forever I was told go in straight away, I rushed there to find him on life support, I didn’t see him alive again, the scan he should have had weeks before had showed a bleed from a major artery, my heart is broken why didn’t they listen to me, now there is a investigation and the inquest has been cancelled 3 times due to the hospital not having all the information requested, it’s a never ending nightmare and I’m sure I’m suffering from ptsd because of it, I keep having terrible flashbacks, I’ve lost my soulmate and my best friend, I’ve kept this as short as possible and not told all the story it’s just horrific and, heartbreaking, knowing he could have been saved if it was found earlier he should have had a stent put in, and NO hemmoroids were found
Please be brave your experience is so awful that i cannot realy put into words how i feel for you.
My wife was rushed into hospital after considerable time wasted eventually they done scans their prognosis was that the risks of surgery was to great so they put her in a private room and pretty much lost interest
If the diagnosis from gp level to the hospital was done correctly it may have given us a little longer to adjust to losing her.
Thank you for replying , So sorry about your wife, I do feel your pain, only those who have lost the love of there life can truly understand the heartache and loneliness
My children have been my rock, but they have there own lives to live and people move on, but when you can’t you are stuck in your own little lonely world so I do no how you feel, people say it will get easier in time but I’m not sure about that
I’m sorry I can’t cheer you up think we are both in the same boat, the doctors these days are useless most of them just don’t do there jobs properly I’m so angry and upset and I’m hoping for some kind of apology or just something to recognise there fatal mistakes.
I wish your daughter a speedy recovery and good health again, must be such a worry for you . Take care …
I do totally understand ! The NHS are crap ! I had to fight every inch of the way with my husband ! Thwy had an investigation into his care too ! Got some answers but boy they wasted so much time because basically theyre bloody incompetent ! And like you say they get it wrong too !!! Just awful . Xxxx
I’ve been waiting 8 months for a explanation to why he wasn’t given a scan and why he was given a ridiculous diagnosis
The medical reports of his so called care are pathetic and upsetting, no care at all, he was neglected , he was a diabetic and wasn’t given any insulin, I’m heartbroken, they were totally incompetent in every possible way.
I know its awful isn’t it ? You poor thing ! Are you gonna sue them ? Have you got his medical notes ? Youre entitled to them you know ! I got my husbands ! But i cant read them cos it makes me cry … why dont you get in touch with your MP … we did ! And they shifted their butt funnily enough !!
Yes I’ve got his medical records, it’s so upsetting I couldn’t stop crying, so much is wrong times dates, lots of lies to, I was with him most of the time for hours and hours over a 5 week period when he was admitted to hospital, no mention about all the times I asked for a scan told them they are missing something and they didn’t do one, the hardest part to read was, the scan they gave him on the day he died was with contrast into a artery, I’m convinced that is what killed him
When he was bleeding from a major artery, my common sense tells me that, no mention in the report that he had a serious reaction from that, but just after the scan apparently his heart stopped beating and they had to resuscitate him, it says while they were doing that apparently he was supposed have told them to stop, my god how is that even possible
Then they decided to let him die naturally
How the hell is that normal
It’s just a never ending nightmare
3 times the inquest has been cancelled they haven’t had all the paperwork
The coroner is not happy either, he asked there legal team if the investigation can be changed into a serious investigation and they said NO but that’s crap I no I’ve got a fight on my hands and just hoping my mental health will see it through to get some kind of justice for him, I’ve got to fight, just feel so weak, crying all the bloody time but I can’t help it, it’s like something out of a horror film.
Hi what has happened is a total negligence these doctors and the hospital trust must be made accountable when records have been changed or even complete lies morally and legally they are covering up there mistakes.
I know that from your post that you were truly devoted to your husband nobody should have to endure such deceit we put our trust that our love ones will get the treatment and respect they deserve 
please fight on.
I am sure everyone on this forum wish you every success hugs from everybody
I am sorry to say it will be a long battle i presume you have contacted PALS the ombudsman and a solicitor but please be aware it will be a long battle 32months and just got a final report from the ombudsman and it still contains wrong statements
Sorry if i am putting you off just the truth
You are absolutely right when you take on a health authority regarding negligence it almost as if the close ranks extracting case note and documentation is a nightmare unfortunately without a top rate legal team it may take years and even then you may not win or even get an apology i wish you all the luck to pursue your claim for justice
Take care
