Hi Pam


Just wanted to add my comment about my recent experience of Kings A&E. I recently had to visit A&E in the early hours of the morning and was very satisfied with my treatment and care at Kings. The care and attention I received was fantastic - it was quiet in A&E at the time so this may have helped, although I see this wasn't the case for Indya (hope you're feeling better now Indya).


I was vomiting violently throughout my initial triage but felt really well cared for and subsequently had a thorough MOT with the medics including scanning for a suspected triple A which turned into an ultrasound teaching opportunity for the junior doctor (with my full permission of course). They explained everything to me as they carried out their tests, kept me fully informed and I felt very safe in their care.

That's great ontherun. Once you're admitted to the wards though, it's sometimes pot luck on the care you receive.


If you don't have family/friends I dread to think how many patients get by.


As posted, my Mum was due an op a couple of years ago in day surgery and it was only because we noticed a discrepancy on her operation for the next day that she could have ended up with the wrong breast removed. I can't imagine what effect this would have had on my Mum on waking up! She had been the strongest person there for her extended family before this.

They do ,don't they ? I've had several bad and some very bad experiences , can't actually think of any good ones .


The majority of my really bad experiences have been where the patient was elderly .The bad ones have involved me .


It seems to come down to the individuals who see you in the hospital . Can't be right surely ?

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
