Dales Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Medical error = 3rd greatest cause of death Will removing the bad apples help? Hi there, can you post the official statistics for this. What do you mean by 'bad apples'. I'm not having a go at you by any means, i'm just interested to see the evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest busdriver1 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure how many 'days' you have spent in RGH to qualify your comment. Too many is the answer. On EVERY occasion I insisted on being transferred to NGH or Hallamshire where the negligence of RGH was rectified to the best of their ability. Should I quote the hidden Xrays, the incorrect referrals, the negligence of care, the corners cut? The intentional wrong procedures to try and cover up the original negligence? I could go on...... Speak as you find and that is sadly what I found. I now have a permanent disability due to the negligence of RGH so Yes, I have an axe to grind. Let me say, I am a strong supporter of the National Health service but also believe in speaking out when things are wrong, and my experience and that of my ex wife of RGH was at best abysmal whilst the treatment at NGH and Hallamshire was first rate.

Zarniwoop Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yes, the nasty party are destroying the NHS, with PFI, ludicrous internal markets and partial privatisation Weren't 70% of the PFI contracts awarded under the Blair-Brown government? Didn't they also outsource the central supplies service ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker15 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 got to take callum to hospital he's really sick get the paramedics ,or take him there quick in there hands we have complete trust the best care available ,this is a must initial diagnosis of meningitis doesnt sound too good but we've faith in the doctors like everyone should 24 hours on antibiotics ,he's a different lad sat up in bed smilimg and talking ,were ever so glad along comes a doctor ,shes not seen him before test results / notes she decides to ignore its an ear infection ,he need an op after its done the antibiotics can stop sent home the next day in pain but trying to be strong how relieved we were the initial diagnosis was wrong for 2 days laid on sofa crying in pain what can i do , its driving me insane next morning callum was not really not well somethings not right as a parent can tell called the paramedics,they arrived quick but it seemed so long the look on there faces i knew something was wrong in the ambulance blue lights flashing siren loud and shrill on arrival tests were done , we are told callum's is critically ill transfering him to sheffield , we can't do anything for him here is this a nightmare im scared and frightened so full of fear the surgeons are waiting to operate on his brain to reduce the swelling ,they've put in a drain the next time we see him he's in intensive care the whole of the family can't believe he's there on a life support in icu for 91 days his mum will not leave him ,by his bedside she stays doctor after doctor try everything they know unfortunately for callum the infection wont go doctors advice us to turn off his life support as family the decision is made we are absolutely distraught callum lasted 30 hours before he took his last breath tears flowed like a river because of his death several months later thinking callum's care was not right we complained to the hospital ,for answers we would fight they did an investigation and sent us a report they admitted so many failings just as we thought we contacted a solicitor to see how legally we stood she was shocked by the events and said callum's care was not good she took on our case,they can't get away with this she left no stone unturned ,nothing did she miss a letter arrived from NHS solicitors out of the blue in it they confirmed everything that we knew they admitted KILLING my beautiful son our legal battle we'd eventually won a letter of apology from the hospital we got and in it a statement that made us say ....what ? if callums antibiotics hadnt been stopped on the monday he would gone on to make a full recovery so the doctor who decided callum was ill because of his ear took his life in his 14th year by stopping the antibiotics it cost him his life she may as well stabbed him with a knife the CPS ,say she's done nothing to answer for but we will keep on fighting harder than before soon there will be an inquest and we pray decisions are made that finally gets justice for CALLUM BLADE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calahonda Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 striker15’s very moving post is the reason why no organisation should be beyond criticism, South Yorkshire Police are a good example. There does appear to be two sets of rules, in that every area of the private sector is fair game to be rubbished by the perfect public sector, whilst the reverse is a no go area. A very good friend was killed by a doctor he had never met 18 years ago. He was feeling ill on Boxing Day and his wife phoned 999. The doctor conducted several tests and concluded that his heart rate was very high, so gave him a beta blocker, he died the next day when his heart packed up. He was one of the fittest people I have ever known, the NHS closed ranks and refused to even look into this tragic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker15 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 in every walk of life , in everything you do you have to be held accountable for your actions unless you work for the NHS, doctors / consultants have a license to kill ,harsh words but true , believe me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1EVIE66 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ever wish you hadn't started something. A general post to say that the NHS had served me very well has turned into another one of those where people then start to have a dig at them. Yes the NHS make mistakes, some big ones at that and I have been on the receiving end of some rubbish treatment several times. I do feel for people that have not had a good level of care and you have every right to feel the way you do but i was simply expressing my views on my care and to say that there are a lot of hard-working, caring and under paid staff in the nhs who do deserve a big thank you when they do get it right.

mickey finn Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Trouble with the Health Service is that there are too many penpushers and not enough hands on staff. Very much so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not to take it personally. I for one am glad you posted. Nobody is denying that there are a lot of hard-working, caring and under-paid staff in the NHS who do deserve a big thank you. But the object of a forum is to provoke discussion and in this particular topic there have been both positive and not so positive comments. Surely that's good?

I would like to second those comments and add that mine were an attempt to show how highly I value the service provided by the staff at the 2 sheffield hospitals and my comments about another were purely to emphasise how well off the people of Sheffield are in my experience.
