My darling Dad died late on Thursday night. He got admitted to hospital whilst we were on holiday but fotunatly I got home in time.Apparently he had pneumonia.I was talking to Dad up untill Tuesday on the phone but he was so breathless I then only Spoke to the hospital.Im finding it hard to see how he could have deteriorated so quickly. When I got to the hospital on Thursday evening I asked if he was still on the antibiotics and was told that apart from pain relief they hd stopped treatment as it was'nt working.How can they do that, surely they have to try.I have read lots of info on pneumonia and it seems that they did very little compared to what they could have done, anyway, who the hell are they to say they are gonna stop treatment. I feel really angry at the moment, and sad that I could have had Dad with us for a while longer. I feel I should be sat at home crying all day, but im not. I have my moments, plenty of them but how should I be feeling??? what should I be doing. I mean, today I have to go to get new school uniform for the kids, how normal is that. I want some one blame . I want to know everyrthing. Does anyone know if I have a right to see his medical records? I just have such a muddled mind at the moment
