After 20 years of supporting NHS complainants including 8 years in a medical negligence firm, I ignored my irritated gall bladder for three years until 4 days of excrutiating pain forced me to ask my husband to call the GP with a dictated note of my clinical history. The receptionist told hubby they didn't do home visits but once the doctor read my symptoms he came out after surgery and insisted I be taken straight to the hospital it had been my responsibility to monitor for 14 years. He seemed to find my reluctance to be admitted strange. I couldn't explain how terrified I was to be a patient. I went straight to the ward and for the entire eight days I was there, everyone was kindness itself (apart from a CT scanner operator who should be strung up for his lack of care) and I was incredibly impressed by the professional standards of all staff. I was also priviledged to witness in the bed opposite perhaps the best example of ward level complaint management I have ever seen. It doesn't mean that I'm no longer making every effort not to "bother" our medical colleagues but I hope any future care I receive will be just as good.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-59637806593829319062016-04-22T13:20:35.251+00:002016-04-22T13:20:35.251+00:00Kudos to Rodney Dangerfield:
