My Dad was unfortunately admitted to A&E after having collapsed at home. We had an MRI scan to find that he has a critical condition. Since being admitted at the beginning of the week we have seen no less than 17 doctors / nurses. We’ve been moved 6 times around different wards whilst seeing other patients in corridors. The lack of communication is outstanding, not one department talks to another and every ward we go to we have to explain why my father is here. We have had to pull nurses and doctors to push for CT scans, MRI and updates which when you are beyond emotions and trying to spend time with someone who is terminally ill is beyond horrific and not what you expect from the healthcare. I understand the NHS is short staff and in need of financial funding but compassion and communication is really what is needed.
