Might be something to speak to your local pals office about. They could contact the relevant department in the hospital and let them know how distressing this was for you both and suggesting how you think it could be better handled. You could ask to be kept informed as to what action they take so it can't just be filed in the waste paper basket. If you talk to a different doctor he/she may not feel inclined to make waves with other staff.

What is "pals" please Shem?If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go togetherComment

Nearly every hospital has a pals office based on the premises and they are there to liaise between hospital staff and patients particularly if there are problems. They used to be funded separately but now I think they come out of the hospital budget.xxComment

That's very useful information Shem. Thank you. I didn't know it existed and I suspect a lot of other people don't either.Hope I don't need it but you never know.Comment

Shem - I hadn't heard of it either. Many thanks."Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

They have a PALS at our hospital. I used the group after my cataract operation a year ago."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."
