Misdiagnosis at Blackpool Victoria

"Misdiagnosis at Blackpool Victoria"

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

Very angry about my care went to hospital. I was discharged with a chest infection and water retention, and then rushed back to hospital in less than 24 hour with chronic cardiac failure. It seems that the hospital staff don't know the difference between a breathing problem and chronic cardiac failure.
