King George Hospital 2024-05-08 Person 2 5 0

After being told at 5am I was being admitted my partner went home to sleep after 24 hora with no food or sleep, I was then told at 5.45 that I was being discharged and told to leave the department. Advise on leaving was not to be alone for fear of falls, not to drive and to collect medication from a pharmacy once it had opened. I was told not to go out alone but also don’t stay home alone, so how was it safe to send me home alone? Due to being so ill on returning home my daughter rang the hospital to ask if I had discharged myself as she didn’t feel any medical professional would send me home in the state I am in, the nurse she spoke to clarified that I was discharged as medically fit to leave unsupervised, but on reviewing the notes she advised that I should be brought back in by ambulance. I have not retuned to the hospital as I feel they will just keep me on a chair for 14- 16 hours with no pain relief and no food ( I am diabetic) then discharge me home again.

Ensure either my safe return home or admit me as was originally stated. Food and regular sugar checks for known diabetics, pain relief when requested.
