"Heamotology"

About: Arrowe Park Hospital

My nan was admitted to Heamotology ward via A&E and after 2 weeks was diagnosed with multiple myalnoma. She stayed in hospital a further 2 weeks due to sever groin pain and to start her chemo treatment. When I visited my nan she explained the nurse had not given her regular medication when I asked the nurse she said it happened when other nurse was on duty. I was then there another time when a nurse was getting my nan her analgesia and I noticed she was going to give codeine when I explained she not perscribed that she has paracetamol. Nurse said o my mistake?! On 22/12/13 my nan informed me she was being discharged the next day i approached a nurse to ask for plan of care her reply... U nan said she is going home so guess she is?! I explained about my Nans ankles being swollen and asked was she on any diuretics? Her answer she just needs to spend more time in bed?! I then said my Nans breathing seemed a little off compared to her normal she ignored me and carried on the computer. My nan was discharged on 24/12/13 with an extremely complicated medication regime in which no staff had gone through with her or my dad and no information was given. As I am a newly qualified nurse myself I was lucky to sort medication out only because I opened the letter addressed to her GP. I was so disgusted to find out my dad had asked for the medication to be in blister packs for the hospital to say they don't do them?? My nan was admitted to a hospital in liverpool on 26/12/13 with pneumonia and died 31/12/13! If that nurse had listened to me about the breathing she might still be here now!,,,
