"Disregard and lack of communication"

My dad had been experiencing shortness of breathe, fatigue, fever, for the past year, his health started to decline further in august, visited gp numerous times started his fifth course of antibiotics, this failed to help, then his breathing became worse which became seriously worrying as he has never smoked and he exercises and works everyday. after a call to nhs 24 they told us to take him to A&E straight away. he was admitted to the new CAU. he could hardly speak due to shortness of breath, his oxygen levels were only monitored every 4 hours with a machine that seemed to be shared with the full ward! when visiting my dad we were told that the suspected tuberculosis on the second day and they were waiting for the results and a bed in the respiratory ward. Visiting on the third day he had sickness and diarrhoea, a sample had been sent to be tested. On the fourth day he called us and told us he was in the waiting room and has been discharged.

No test results where back! my dad was still experiencing shortness of breath. After calling the ward to ask why he was being discharged without results, I was told it was a medical decision and that he has a lower respiratory infection (pneumonia)! . I told the nurse he could hardly breathe and she said he was fine, my dad is not fine! I'm so angry at the total disregard for his well being and lack of communication from this ward.

Its not a question of "if" my dad will be re-admitted but when.
