Hope she is well again soon.

X 2, some heads have to roll

So sorry to hear of the stuff ups your experiencing hope all goes right from now on.
Chucaro it seems to be a common problem as my mother-in-law is going through a similar problem at the moment where she has had a cancer keyhole op, where they "knicked an artery" requiring 2L of blood transfusions, then after extreme pain, had to be revived 2x sat night so needed a pacemaker put in, which the doctor stuffed up twice and pierced her lungs! So now has had a tube inserted into her side TWICE , to drain the air leaking out of her lungs ,as they stuffed that the first time as well!
I also understand the issue your going through of making a complaint or waiting , as 2011-12 my premmie bub was in NICU for 3 months and there where only a few stuff ups thankfully but I/we where worried about the fallout from a big complaint landing on our bub.
Take care and try to get enough sleep so you can get there safely each day.

I am sorry to say that Ron's unfortunate experiences and others reflect my own experiences - the medical/hospital system is not what it should be.

Sorry to hear about your wifes troubles Ron, we all really hope she is on the mend quickly. It is so hard sitting there being so good with your hands but not being able to do anything, My daughter was run over a few years ago and spent a week in hospital(she is ok now thank God), so I know exactly how you feel. Mate get out on the Strom and clear the head, it works wonders for me.

Cheers Ian

Ron, you and your wife have our utmost love and support.
Horrible situation for anyone to deal with. Been there myself...

Doctors are not gods, and they are in a category of being over worked and only human like you and I who screw up from time to time under pressure.

Follow your heart mate, and my gut says get your wonderful missus out of that hospital ASAP.

hope things improve, sending lots of healing vibes to your wife, and lots of support to you! i know what it is like when hospitals do not do stuff right, been on recieving end myself and lost my wonderful aunty start of last year thanks to stupid hospital failing at doing their job!

I second that

I hope things turn around for you soon.

Sorry to hear this Ron. I hope they get things sorted soon. Best wishes to Elizabeth.








Just don't cast any doubt on the medical profession here though mate or there'll be thunder and lightning from a few delusional people that will swear black and blue that doctors can't make mistakes
