We arrived at the hospital to visit the patient who we last saw in the Escalation area, pending hospital admission. The Escalation area is basically a corridor between A&E and the hospital wards.
The patient was no longer registered on the A&E system and was now in AMU (Acute Medical Unit).
We had arrived too early for visiting hours which start at 12.30 so we walked for lunch in the nearby Bowring Park taking the long way there and back. The walk gave me a chance to photograph a lovely sculpture located near to the park.
Back at the hospital the patient seemed almost back to normal but as we left, I knew that was not the case. This was confirmed later by a phone call.
Sadly, this means we will have to postpone our imminent Stratford adventure…
Cherie, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve got a loved one in hospital. May they recover soon. That sculpture is lovely and the walk sounds like a welcome respite from the hospital
They seem on the way to recovery now, thank you
I hope all goes well with the patient, Cherie
Thank you
So the first I will do to NHS is to rename it to LHS (Local Health Service).
Although they provide nationwide healthcare services,
patients can only access local clinics. I do find this very limited and taking too long to wait.
If one can afford to pay and skip the queue, like the King. They would go to private clinics. You and me, we are stuck with NHS.
I can’t claim the service was slow on this occasion.
Sending my thoughts and good wishes, I hope all goes well with the patient.
That is a lovely sculpture in your photographs.
All the best Jan

The medical problem has been resolved and she has returned to us from her delerium. There is a new found problem with kidney function to be managed but I think she will be home soon xx
Oh, no – so sorry to hear this, Cherie. This isn’t the first time, either, right? I’m glad to know that they figured out the kidney issue, but I’m sorry to hear it’s another organ involved. Hoping it’s something that can be managed easily..
I think the only problem with her kidney is that it was dehydrated due to decreased fluid intake.
