Mal went to see the GP, an appointment made before he was rushed into hospital. Dr Drew didn’t know anything about what had happened and had to access the hospital files. Seems very convenient they hadn’t received his discharge letter. He said he would chase all things up and booked a phone call with Mal for 15th November to update him! I spoke to my niece and she agreed, you have to keep chasing them or you just get lost in the system. So, I phoned the ward Mal was on and they are now sending out more letters and copies to Mal, including Maidstone Hospital. Also where to get his catheter changed.

This all makes me wonder how other elderly people get on who don’t know how to progress when nothing happens.
