Hi
After much thought I have decided to put in an official complaint, As i previously stated I was unconscious for most of the months i was in hospital and for the few weeks i was conscious out of my mind on drugs.
My wife and adult children did not sign anything.
It maybe that I was very close to death and that most people would not survive the treatment to resuscitate me but and it is a big but that is my decision.
I fully accept that during an operation things may go wrong and I die but for Doctors to add that to my file for the future guidance of other Doctors weeks or months later without discussing it with me is not on.
Why on discharge did no one sit down with me and say we did procedure A and do not think you would survive this again.
No very unhappy
Hence the official complaint. Which by the way was sent on 19/6 and receipt acknowledged but to date no official reply.Beyond the statuary 25 days for a reply.
I would be grateful to hear from any one else who has submitted an official complaint and also from anyone with experience of DNR notices
