There is no link to this thread as i has happen today.
I received a phone call today from my wife, A very good friend of ours was complaining of headaches last week and went to see his GP, who gave him strong painkillers, and arranged for a hospital appointment, for a brain scan.
He received a hospital appointment for two weeks time, two days after the GP appointment, he had no choice but to go to the nearest hospital with severe and they sent him home again with painkillers, no checks were made.
Thursday, the pains were getting much worse, and went back to the hospital and still the same happened - painkillers and sent home.
Friday, he called for an ambulance and he was taken to a major hospital and the same thing again, Yesterday, he collapsed at home with blood coming from his nose and throat and he was rushed by ambulance to another London hospital - he died in the Early hours of this morning.
Maybe if he had been given more care and tests done - he might have still been alive today
Am l angry at losing a very good friend of the family, BUT he went to THREE major hospitals, and they all sent him home with painkillers - why didn't they do thorough checks and they might have save his life.
