my mother was admitted to Trafford general hospital after a fall at home she was admitted and had a x ray we were told everything was o k just bruising after two weeks she was still in pain and had another x ray only to find she had in fact broken her collar bone and it had started to heal.
treatment and bed rest seemed to be in order she was very unsteady on her feet but was taken to the w/c and left alone inside she fell again this time breaking her neck why was she left alone when every one new she was unsteady as it was .
another x ray to confirm the broken neck neck brace fitted.
left in bed with call button placed out of reach along with drinks in a tumbler even if she could get to the drink how on this earth was could she drink them without help and a straw they now they say she is dehydrated what a shock one of the family visit daily and give her a drink but we don,t. know what goes on when we are not there with the call button placed out of reach and she seems to be left to soil the bed we kow this because we bring her bed cloths home and wash them every day so now you can see why i have reviewed the hospital as i have you would not let your mother be treated the same way.
