Poor care and no follow up!

Story from nhs.uk

"Poor care and no follow up!"

About: Royal Surrey County Hospital

My sister was admitted to the RSCH as an emergency in May.

Pain relief was inadequate as was the information given. Following surgery some 45 hours after being admitted, the discharge the following day was appalling being sent home with alternative pain killers to the CD drugs that had been given whilst an inpatient. Also being little more than 12 hours from having abdominal surgery she had to walk to the main entrance from Elstead Ward.

No advice and no follow up calls where received and three days later an infection. Terrible care.
