My husband was an inmate in a prison, when he was admitted to the Queens Medical Centre Nottingham. I was extremely concerned that he was allowed to discharge himself the same day that he went in to the hospital although he himself cant remember doing this.
I was reassured by the Stroke Rehabilitation Unit that they would take care of my husband and involve the whole family. However I did not get any phone call or letter telling me about his condition or the treatment he would get. It was only after 5-6 weeks that a speech and language therapist came out from the Unit to see my husband in the prison.
This has left me really worried about the future and whether the specialist help from the hospital will be available to my husband and I cant help wondering if my husband got the same level of treatment as anyone else.
