Comment Published at 13:1213:128 comments8 comments43 Visits43 VisitsReport

Is an apology so much to bloody ask for ??? Monday i was told thois stupid matron was supposeed to write to me with this reply. Today i got a letter it was from trhe hospital i got all excited thinking it was her reply i know its sad. But i have been waiting so long and i just want it all over. So anyway heres the letter i will delete names obviously

Dear Ms ---------------

I am writing following your recent phone conversations with the trusts patient services manager, Mr F-- H-----. I am aware of your complaint about the care you recieved in the accident and emergency department at torbay hospital on 6 may 2008 and was extremely sorry to hear that you had a miscarriage at that time. I have also seena copy of the letter , dated 15 may 2008, which you delivered to the hospital over the weekend.

I would like to confirm that you agreed with Mr H---- that the most helpful way for us to deal with your complaint is for the matron of gynaecology service K----- M---------, to write to you with a full rewsponse to your complaint. She will do this as quickly as possible. If after you have considered her letter, you feel that face to face meeting with senior staff would be helpful, this will be arranged. If you would like any support during this process, our PALS officer, C----- B---------, will be happy to provide what ever help or advice she can. She can be contacted on ------------------.

I am very sorry that you feel the trust has not responded as quickly as it should have to your complaint and i hope that mrs m---------'s letter will provide you with a satisfactory response. .

I have enclosed a copy of our patient information lleaflet "we want to know what you think???" which i hope will be helpful.

Yours sincerely

Ms S C---------

Acting chief executive.

Very clever isnt it ???? I did speak to Mr H---- on the phone on monday and i did agree that a full response to my complaint would be only a START to a way forward to how this matter should be dealt with. The way the letteris put out at the first sighting looked ok then when i read it to barry i realised it a load oif crap and they are covering their asses . They seem to think i get a letter thats it over with no i dont think so . They dont have a clue what im going through i will never get hospital treatment again because of this and if they think they are getting away tyhat lighty they are seriously wrong. I cant eat i cant sleep unless i take sleeping tablets i have nightmares and little images in my head and all this is because of this stupid woman . I am really geting mad at it all now . At this rate i will have my scans and nbotes before an apology. Not that my notes are going to tell me much because the stupid woman never wrote them all grrrrrr.     

Just to top ity all off i log on here and i cant send minti mail aghain ggggrrrrrrrr yet again my send buttton has disappeared   

Ok calm calm calm calm . Ha i know something good did happen today though chloe had her first visit with her new health visitor this afternoon. She was lovely and so understanding. She said its been a year coming up since i last saw a health visitor woopsie. I said i thought after 12 months she didnt need weighing etc. Since she has beena healthy baby . She was suprised to hear i have never had any concerns for chloes health . She hasnever been to hospital since she was born and only on occassions seen a dr. As they see me as a 1st time mum they expect me to worry every time she hasa temp so i had to explain that ive had kylie from 13 months.

She asked a few questions about both my mother and kylies mother. I exzplained we havent seen nikki since late may 2007 amd kylie doesent wish to speak to or seeher. As some of you know nikki has played alot of games with kylies head and ive spent the the  last year going through hell to sort her out. I told hjer Kylie still now at least oncea week she will bring up the fact her mother put her in a cold bath obviously she wanted to know more so i told her she came down with a load of friends expecting us to let them all stay her staying in kylies bedroom . She took kylie out for 1 hour came back and downed 2 cans of beer totally ignored kylie all day put her in a cold bath twice . I had to stop i said i could go on buti  would be here all day . Then she asked what about your mother ??? Is she around ?? I just looked at her and gave a sharp NO  . She just looked at me . So i said ok my mother disowned me i told her to make her choice and she made it. She chose a rapist her choice her lose. She got the gist very quickly and dropped it.

She was very pleased with chloes weight and behaviour etc she was being so cheeky she was undoing her shoes between eating her lunch and playing and watching tv . I  had just changed chloes smelly bum so she never had any trousers on and she commented she looked very healthy and happy.

But she said i looked really tired and worn down and looked as though i was about to burst into tears . So i told her what happened and that im not sleeping or eating well and she was very understanding .

Unlike barry and kenny they are annoying me Barry is off telling all his mates im not eating and im down and crap and they both decided to sit here and tell how crap i look and withdrawn and tired i am and how i am so skinny . I just dont want to hear it whats the point in eating stuff i know i am only going to bring back up . Later he will say he was only joking but he isnt and it really annoys me cos i cant help it its just the way i feel at the moment and its going to take time i just wish he would understand that.

  Hoe cool is that ???

Sorry i will shut up now sorry its been so long i gotr carried away LOL

Luv aEmz xx

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

Vent it, re read it, re vent it, re read it.  And the cycle goes on.  Keep doing it, it must be helping you.  And of course the hospital is covering their bums, that's what they are paid to do, or so it would seem.  Health care be damned!  Might start going to the vet myself, at least they warm the thermometer up before sticking it where the sun don't shine! lol.  Oh, and they usually give you a treat at the end too!  Might as well, they treat their patients better than our health care systems for humans!

Glad Chloe's got a good health visitor.  Funny how everyone thinks first time mums are going to jump every time our kids sneeze.  With Ayla, we only had one trip to the hospital, and only a couple of visits to the docs.  Not all first time mums freak at snot hanging from their kids noses! lol.  Suppose many parents do and the professionals expect everyone to be that way.

Please try and eat Emmie, even if it is plain chips.  It will help you to feel better.  As for sleep, who needs that?  Seems the more we try to get, the less we get.  Try some relaxation techniques for getting a more pleasant sleep, and when you do have those nightmares, follow them!  Face them head on and change the outcome of them to something more positive!  Only you can do that!

Take care and have a reasonable weekend.  I'd say good, but it's one of those weekends here where you wish you could just crawl under a rock and live like a worm.

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

Hey Arna ,

You wouldent believe how stress relieving it is for me to sit here at night and vent and i seem to be doing it most night lately but it helps me . TAhe hospital are covering their butts bigtime i just wish they would just face up to what happened was wrong . They just dont know what i have hiding under my wing.

She really was lovely. It is strange how they think 1st time mums go running everytime they have a sniffle i just find it a wwaste of timeunless im really worried i dont tae her drsbut i guess everyones differant.

I am eating its just its very little as i can only eat curry sauce and chips and peanut butter on toast but cos i aint eating proper meals im getting moaned at. . There is no point me doing relaxation as as soon as i start i would get babe babe babe babe can you do this can you do thasat you get my drift lol

I could quite happily join you under the rock lol

Luv Emz xxx

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

I'm glad that you liked Chloes health visitor. Thats a good start.
I'm sorry that the hospital are retarted, but they have to get their ass into gear once the newspaper report comes out.
I agree with the others, while I was so morning sickness it was just easier not to eat then to keep throwing up, but I obviously had to eat something for the baby and some things did stay down, it was just hard figuring out I could eat half a banana, or a 1/4 toast with vegemite, but food gives you strength which you need physically and emotionally right now.
Hugs Emz.

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

Some people are just too busy covering the asses to see the real picture. They made a massive mistake and now they have to put things right as best they can. Sheesh, hand em over to me and I'll tell em straight out!!!! It's not rocket science grrrrrrr. I can fully understand your sheer anger and frustration. I'd be beyond livid now if it was me.

Now, eat what you want when you want! That's what my doc's have said to me. Something is better than nothing. You've got me a worried. Even if you just "graze" through out the day. I know only too well the feeling of not wanting to eat especially when you're just gonna bring it back! You're gonna need every ounce of strength you can muster. As for Barry, MEN!!! They just don't get it. I know that he's going through some stuff too but a little bit of understanding goes a lllloooonnnggg way. Take care of you,

fi xoxo

P.S Yay for chloe.. what a star!!

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

They sure are and they are covering it bigtime. But what happened to me was wrong they made my miscarriage my worst ever experience and left me horrified and they need to fix that. No its not really rocketr science and they really need to pull their fingers out their butts. I am fuming with it all im tempted tto pay her a little visit.

Yes my doc says the same she said if i reaLLY NEED IT I WILL EAT IT  she says my body has had a trauma and its gonna take me a while to recover and its not as if im totally starving myself its just limited . As for barry well he is annoying me he doesent have the 1st clue and him and kenny giving me grief because im feeling down realy isnt helping baarry needs to wake up.

Re: Im getting REAL mad now!!!!

Oh Emz

Its really rough for you right now isn't it, I wish I could do something to help.

I know when I was vomiting all day long all those months, i used to think the same as you and feel what is the point in eating, but for your own sake, try to just nibble on something, even if its the odd piece of toast, or else you lose all your fight totally

Go for bland things and don't force yourself. but please for your sake just take small mouthfuls

This hospital is really giving you the run around aren't they
