Original feedback for

Royal Blackburn Hospital



C3 and C5

My father has advanced Parkinson's. He was admitted last January but he was not given his Parkinson's medication. He went through Royal Blackburn A&E for a suspected stroke and told he would be either admitted onto a ward or discharged if he had not had a stroke. They didn't give him a scan until three days into the stay. None of the nurses knew how to do the morphine pump so my mum came to do it everyday. Part of having Parkinson's for my dad means he has hallucinations but he has learnt to live with it, however because of the hallucinations they tweaked his medication. This has an affect on him and after this he was not the same man as when he went in - he appeared high. It's really dangerous to change Parkinson's medication even the brand, so I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. You can't treat people with Parkinson's like other patients - they need the timing of their medication on an individual basis rather than it being routine at the same time everyday. They gave him purified food as well which he couldn't eat. It was also a one mile walk from the car park to the ward and my mum wasn't happy having to pay for parking when she was doing the morphine pump when she was there.
