    My Dad had his 6 monthly check with the urologist in November and today I got to speak to the care assistant who took him up to the hospital. He was barely in with the doctor for 5 minites who just said his blood tests were fine come back in 6 months.

    They waited 3 and a half hours to see the doctor - bascially this info could have been rung through to the care home and the info added to his charts rather than making an 86 year old hang around for an entire morning.

    I can't face complaining as it would mean reliving it.
    I can relate to your whole post regarding the care or lack of that my mother received in the moths spent in hospital leading up to her passing away.
    Too many "accidents" to mention and I have stored them in a dark corner of my brain where the thoughts don't bother me so much.

    But it is the last sentence that I quoted that strikes a chord. I ended up having to see a counsellor to assist me getting over my grief/trauma. My counsellor actually advised me to let all my complaints go as the docs/nurses would all back each other up and it would end up having an even worse effect on my mental state. He actually told me they would most probably "drive me insane" I took his advice and never really looked back.

We have booked a limo to pick us up at airport, take us to the bureau to collect licence, then to hotel. Limo picks us up on day of wedding, to chapel, to heli pad, heli over canyon with picnic kindly supplied by kiss laid, mainly smuggled hedgehogs with pneapple and cheese, then sunset over the strip in heli if we arent arrested for animal cruelty, back to limo, limo to eiffel for dinner. Then bed. I will be knackered obviously by then:A
