A Teaching Hospital Teaching Bad Practices
It's plain to see what has gone wrong with the NHS when Royal Preston Hospital is given the responsibility as a designated 'Teaching Hospital'. To teach bad practices because the 'teachers' have been taught bad practices, spreads like a rancid infection throughout the NHS as these 'professional' people take their knowledge and experience and make more hospitals incompetent. I should feel safe leaving a member of my family in this Hospital, but unfortunately I'm near exploding point with the amount of times I've had to intervene and prevented my fathers death. As a 'retainer' of CO² his oxygen was Blasting out on 5 litres when I walked into his cubicle, over oxygenated and gasping for breath as his lungs filled up with carbon dioxide. READ THE PATIENTS NOTES. Next he was given insulin as they thought his blood sugars was too high which is steriod induced. He has never had insulin, this crashed him to 1.1 and went into a HYPOGLEMIC FIT where he started to rip out his cannula and ended up with skin tears on his hands as he was hallucinating thinking he was being attacked by the nurses. This was traumatic for me to witness. this all happened in the 36 hours he was kept in the A and E. Unfortunately he was then sent to WARD 24 from A and E for his next beating. He was gradually but rapidly getting worse I was asking for blood tests as he deteriorated. I was lied to by the nursing staff. He managed to tell me they not give his medications in the morning. The nurse said she placed them in his mouth one by one and he had taken them. They withheld his critical medication for his Asthma and COPD which is a steriod. They said he 'refused' this inhaler, is that why he was begging me to check his home for a spare to take in for him? I have been asking for his CRP level to be checked as he displays all the warning signs for SEPSIS. I asked on Thursday afternoon Thursday night Friday morning Friday night and to no suprise the CRP was 'in process' and by Saturday morning I was told is 150 and 'we'll see what the docs want us to do'? Seriously? Get him on IV antibiotics ASAP, but no rush... If the government will not pass this 'assisted dying' bill then I can guarantee if you walk into Preston Hospital, they will do it for you. If your over the age of 66 and end up in here, you have just saved a plane fare to Switzerland. This Hospital does not acknowledge MARTHA'S LAW.
