My dad

My dad Eric (the brave)

The NHS is beyond on its knees, truly not at breaking point,that was history. GP practices turning seriously ill folk away before they are even triaged. People queueing outside for non existent appointments, but can’t phone in because the phone lines are jammed every day.
When or rather if someone gets an appointment, it’s for a locum doctor who will be gone before any further appointment is made.
Tasks not completed by overwhelmed GP’s and practice staff.
People sadly are being missed and dying because of this. But if you are a private patient it’s completely different.

It us the same with hospitals sadly, especially in my experience Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

This is a chronology of my dad’s journey this year.

Eric’s journey to date – abridged

  1. January 2024 Admitted to Chesterfield with stomach, back pains and temperature
  2. Wrong diagnosis made in A&E
  3. Wrong diagnosis made upon ward, no treatment started.
  4. Was told he had terminal cancer and would die soon by Urology Registrar, without any evidence or cause. This was with the entire family
  1. Gave up hope and stopped eating. Was gagging on food. Prescribed 40 sips
  2. Kidney function deteriorated rapidly
  3. Blockage between the kidney and bowel identified.
  4. Discharged with severe sepsis
  5. 3Hrs later taken by ambulance to A&E and readmitted
  6. Attempt to clear blockage failed
  7. Second attempt to clear blockage failed
  8. Attempt to insert stent failed both from above and below.
  9. Was given a nephrostomy
  10. Discharge planning arranged at home by his son as ward failed to do so
  11. Initial support provided by both community health and social care.
  12. District nurses not familiar with nephrostomy and treat as if a simple catheter. They are confused by valve. On one occasion pulled tube out of kidney causing a need reinsertion in X-ray dept
  13. Second occasion pulled out by catching. Then had infection, treated in hospital on antibiotics
  14. Reinsertion failed and had to be repeated following day as tube came out immediately
  15. Ongoing issues when district nurses do bag, occasionally one will know what they are doing but often not.
  16. Referred to Urology at Sheffield.
  17. On Thursday last week he had visit from practice nurse due to his being sick when eating. Nurse prescribed anti-sickness medication
  18. Friday GP practice again contacted but would not provide support.
  19. Friday evening 111 sent paramedic Practitioner out. They were concerned about low sodium levels, advised emergency blood tests Monday am. Prescribed antibiotics for suspected urinary infection
  20. GP practice refused to undertake blood tests
  21. Monday afternoon took to Urology at Sheffield for prearranged appointment, however Hallam Specialist agreed urgent blood tests required. These were done on ward
  22. 12.30 at night call from Urology doctor at Hallam stating blood tests showed extremely low sodium 120. Advised take to closest A&E urgently
  23. Sheffield Urology doctor rang A&E nurse at Chesterfield and explained urgency
  24. 1am arrived at A&E Chesterfield Royal, were initially seen quickly, and told they would get him medicated ASAP.
  25. 4.30 spoke to A&E sister, she stated no contact received from Sheffield.
  26. Simon got Urology Doctor from Sheffield on my phone to talk to her directly.
  27. Dad moved from A&E waiting room to consultation room. Both Eric and his wife were now beyond exhausted.
  28. Simon left to go home and take medications for chronic health conditions
  29. Eric moved to a corridor
  30. Eric moved to Majors
  31. Eric moved to a corridor again
  32. Eric moved to EMU, this is where he received his first medication 16hrs after admission. Sodium now 116
  33. Simon spoke to EMU staff and had to again explain issues.
  34. Helen rang EMU spoke to nurse upon ward.
  35. Simon and Margaret arrived at EMU, spoke to Junior doctor, then were joined by the hospital divisional director. Suspicion of pneumonia or sepsis in lungs. Eric prescribed new antibiotics
  36. Plan made for scans to neck
  37. Eric moved to Ashover ward, adult frailty ward, onto a closed bay that had infectious patients on it.
  38. Following morning they were going to discharge Eric despite sodium levels still being low and on intravenous sodium.
  39. Registrar  agreed plan for discharge. This was sickness to be stopped, Nephrostomy bag changed and scans to brain and gullet with results
  40. Thursday Eric discharged from Adult Frailty ward, family told his sickness had stopped 18hrs before.
  41. Upon discharge at home, Eric stated he was still being sick and continued to be so at home. Unable to keep food or medications including antibiotics down.
  42. Nephrostomy blocked since discharge. Eric attended A&E again, Sam – nurse from Urology met him at A&E, flushed and changed bag. Ward had not flushed and fitted the valve wrongly
  43. Blood in urine once home.
  44. District nurses attended stating blood seemed to have improved. Advised to wait. But advised contact GP to get meds in liquid form
  45. Blue Dyke Surgery stated its Friday afternoon and we are too busy
  46. Margaret stated concerned he would die if couldn’t take meds including antibiotics for lung infection. Receptionist stated not her problem.
  47. 4pm Friday 111 called ambulance which did not arrive till early following morning.
  48. Blood in urine continues
  49. Urine seems not to be draining into bag. What was in bag still blood stained.
  50. Discussion with Urology Sheffield, Helen told by reception that it’s probably a bug
  51. Simon calls Urology Sheffield, explains that Nephrostomy does not seem to be draining and that he believes it may have been dislodged or moved in kidney. He is called by staff nurse, she speaks to Urology doctor. Advise going to Northern General A&E. She believes they will likely transfer Eric to Urology at Sheffield Hallam.

He is now in Hallamshire as in-patient. Chesterfield discharged him with pneumonia, his sodium levels were 116 MEQ/L, now though they are even more dangerously low.
He was only to be discharged once the chest infection had cleared, he had stopped being sick and his sodium levels were safe.
We held the discharge up for 24hrs, but then they lied on all accounts.
I may not be able to sue them if I post on SM, but don’t want money, I want my dad, and everyone to be safe from this malpractice.
A sick patient, no matter how old is not a bleeding “bed blocker” they are a human being, they are husbands, wives, children, siblings, parents….human beings.
Governments, years and years of corrupt governments have put the NHS under immense pressure, but these staff at Chesterfield Royal Hospital and Chesterfield Health Foundation Trust (formerly Blue Dyke Surgery) are deliberately colluding with government imposed pressures to not only put people at risk but, kill them through their actions, inactions, poor professionalism, and dishonesty/lies.
I will not be quiet about this, I will no longer be kept silenced by them.
My 35yr old brother died 5yrs ago because Chesterfield Royal Hospital Ridgeway nurses had no understanding of diabetes, ketoacidosis or the aggression extremely high blood sugars cause. They allowed my hallucinating brother to discharge himself with terminal kidney damage caused by blood sugars of 48mmu. He died a week later, 4 days after Christmas.
Now the same Hospital are trying to kill my father in the same way.
I spent my life protecting people from harm, even during the pandemic, after my brothers death, because I did not want anyone else to go through such pain, and now they do this, deliberately! No life lost is acceptable.

Waiting

Treatment that didn’t come for 16hrs

Health me or the country

I don’t know if I agree with the farmers reasoning or not, but I do agree with their right to protest, I agree that they and us should be listened to, and truly think that only direct action is even remotely viable as a form of protest with this basically neo-nazi excuse for what should be a Labour government. 

This government has after years of corrupt, cruel and murderous consecutive Conservative governments only sought to expand on the vile policies of the Tories and their bosses. It used to be the British Establishment calling the shots but now this bunch of traitors have added Mossad and Israel to its list of masters. That is absolutely Treason in the plainest of terms. #Labour #government #Fascism #hate

My current state of health according to the recent tests and my doctors insistence of me being in hospital, which I am resisting, means I am in no way certain of a tomorrow,  but I vow I will use my words to fight these vile creatures to my very last breath, whether that be later today or more likely with a little luck, in many years to come.

 Dramatic in the extreme, I know, however that’s my reality, I am told,  for today. I cannot keep a silence in the face of such continued wrongdoing. That is not my way.  If I do recover from this latest episode, which I am more than confident I will, despite the worried voices of my doctors,  I vow I will fight for people in any possible. 

BRINKSMANSHIP for what?

To be honest though the ridicolusly dangerous and misguided brinksmanship that Biden, the Tories and sadly Von Starmerführer have been playing for the last few years is only to make weapons profitable again. Having a cold war stance means more national budgets can go into munitions and arms. They can increase their own security and tie the hands of their own citizens with tales of fear.
Sadly though not only do we have these absolutely clueless muppets pulling our strings, we have hard line nutters doing the same in the countries we target as out “virtual enemies”.
This is playing a role play game but with real bombs, including nuclear.
Putin is not on my list of the mentally stable, nor is Khamenei, Xi Jinping, nor Kim Jong Un, but sadly Biden, Starmer or Benjamin Netanyahu are either.
Britain in my humble opinion hasn’t had a sane Prime Minister since Attlee.
We cannot continue to let these vile creature hold such power in this world. There does need to be a new order to the world but not with their influence or making.
The British government are in reality just puppets anyway. They are a feigned representation of what we are fooled into believing is democracy.
You do not need a foil covered cullender upon your head to realise that we are lied to every single day, by corrupt politicians who simple follow the orders of their masters.
Britain has few industry left, most having been asset stripped over the years at the agreement of the government’s representing all the official political parties and contenders.
The biggest of industries we still truly have are not owned by us, not even on the whole run in Britain, but owned by the British Establishment, and that industry is WAR!
It truly is that simple.

The last charge

So it turns put this corrupt treacherous version if Labour is intent on being even more fascist than the vile Mein Kampf quoting Tories who we all know tp be agent provocateurs  for the British excuse of a right wing. The leader of the once Socialist Labour Party (the current Puppet Minister) now edging (charging with the thoughtful consideration shown by the generals of the Light Brigade) even more towards a National Socialist – Nationalsozialismus (NAZI) Government! Sadly though Von Starmer doesn’t yet realise he will end up being remembered as being far more akin to Mussolini – a dummy controlled by the strings of a certain Expansionist, genocidal Middle Eastern Government leader’s version of Adolf Hitler. Oh how things change.
Kier my kind advice is for you to beware of lamp-posts and blunt pen-knifes

Needs to end now!

So again Sunak pushes the UK into war, over not morality, not security, not protecting people, but over vast mineral deposits to be had.

No actual declaration but £500,000,000 he has now pledged (on top of the massive amounts of money and equipment already given), to fund the weapons for a morally suspect foreign power, this when we have not only cuts to all the services we need for people to survive, but also a crisis where children and their parents are going without food and shelter and excuses of lack of money to resource our NHS.

This government does not provide for the basic needs of our citizens but funds death abroad, pretending we are still a bloody imperialist super power still, not the poverty stricken pathetically isolated nation with likely the world’s largest divide between the extremist rich and destitute poor.

This needs to stop, we should not be awaiting a faux election to end this, especially when the country has no actual opposition to corruption, profiteering, cruelty and the theft of all our remaining nationally owned assets.

It really is the time to make the stand. Truly.

Scandal

I have a story to tell very soon. Its not yet complete, awaiting to find out if a happy ending or not, but already scandalous beyond reasonable expectations. It won’t be a blog, tic toc or farcebook post, when this goes public, it will be very public, and I suspect will completely ruin reputations.

Questions in time?

Reet, let’s be clear, I have never questioned the existence of Covid19. I worked through the pandemic as best I could to save lives. I spoke to all kinds of people on the absolute front line, at times being the only person there for them to disclose to.
The virus was I truly believe as real as it gets, and it killed far too many folk, mainly in my humble opinion die to not only inaction and incompetence of the government and opposition MP’s, the failiure of the civil service itself and the transport infrastructure, the blatant government supporting and misinformation from the faux independent British press, but the insurmountable levels of corruption at the very heatt of this government and so many of their friends and supporters.
Now, however, I do have to question the so-called vaccines, the clauses the pharmaceutical companies insisted on to protect them from prosecution, and just what side effects all us guineapigs now are experiencing.
Before Covid, I was already living with chronic illness and pain. I had 4 years of exhaustion, of brain fog, of not functioning, and several symptoms I would rather not share here.
My medication list then was only slightly less than it is now, and to say I rattled with tablets and leaked with injection holes was an understatement.
Now, however, I cannot try to function for a single day without being completely off my feet and unable to undertake the most basic tasks for at least 4 subsequent days.
I would blame this completely upon my seemingly inoperable chronic heart disease, to which I am still awaiting a clear consultation in regard to prognosis, but without being too morbid, does not look extremely promising at this time, andante that has some part in my current complete shutdowns of all my abilities, however, so many other folk are reporting very similar experiences,and a good number of then have no history or ptevious presentation of any diagnosed chronic illness.
These folk have little to link them, except the majority either having had Covid 19, or for many more having had the vaccine.
I truly have no answers at present, but so many questions form in my mind.
The first question is, with the 20/20 vision hindsight grants us how can we trust any response from the politicians, their press puppets, or their civil servants?
That is one question I can with confidence supply an answer as clearly stare we cannot.
The second question is why it is now that politicians of all parties support the stripping of our rights, especially those involving the base tools of all democracy, the right to protest, demonstrate, and strike. Not to mention the attacks on our privacy and free speech.
Will we need to wait for hindsight to answer that and the other questions, when it will be too late to defend against this destruction of tye remnants of freedom that still exist, or will we as a nation finally find our voice and demand the answers and accountability from those who have chosen to stand against all the morality we should hold dear?
That I truly struggle to answer, and sadly, each day lose hope it will happen in time.

Dear Labour

Dear The New New Labour Party of traitors and saboteurs, I would like to point out that any reshuffle of neoliberal betrayers will not make me or any other socialist remotely consider trusting, nevermind voting for you. Too much blood under the bridge!
The moment you allowed the discrediting of members and the back stabbing and witch hunts of all that voiced support of Jeremy Corbyn and his caring, honest and yes realistic policies, you hammered the final nail in Labour’s coffin.
You betrayed the party, its members, its history and our nation.
We will not forgive. We wil not forget. We will strive to ensure you all are held to formal account one day soon.

Dog of Socialism.
