"my husband took ill was admitted to hospital"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)

Anything else?

My husband was in this hospital in august this year as I was informed he had a slight heart attack & chest infection the doctors never kept me informed was in there for 4 days he was doing ok then he got worse passed away they said they done all they could doctor asked me if I had any questions I was numb with shock I said to the sister there what am I going to do she said you put one foot in front of the other what a stupid thing to say people should be treated as they would like to be treated themselves or their families I am trying to come to terms how my husband passed away so quickly he was my soul mate one of the cause of death was septicaemia how did he get blood poisoning there is one thing there were two lovely nurses who were very kind so I would give one star to William Harvey hospital.
