Where to start ..Firstly they perforated my mother's Brachial Artery whilst attempting to fit a PICC line...She now has permanent pain and reduced mobility in the affected arm...Another occasion when admitted with an infected leg ulcer, left a 93 year old lady withe a history of COPD in a ward with known covid....My mother ended up with covid pneumonia and spent five days in critical care where she almost died....They also made her leg ulcer far worse and I had to transfer her to a private hospital...They lost ALL her clothes including trainers and underwear....My late father was admitted after a fall, trapping his leg for two hours....He developed a bloodclot in the affected leg and was refused treatment because of his age and left battling gangrene and sepsis five months as he was written off....He was left in bed watching his foot die rather than surgery to remove the clot.... Whatever the risk of surgery, he had nothing to lose as he was a 100% dead man left as is....Upon his admission, he could still walk, use a bedpan and bottle....As a life lifesaving measure, had him transferred to the nearby private Wellington Hospital, but by then, he was twisted, bedridden and double incontinent...It was also too late to save his leg and amputation was his only option, but because we were self funding and being chay£2600 per day at the Wellington Hospital, things got delayed and it became too late for my poor father who spent the last five months of his life in bed battling sepsis waiting to die as the UCLH wrote off a man who up to the time of his fall, washed himself every day at the sink, make himself breakfast, lunch, go shopping at Waitrose and make a five mile journey weekly, all done without help... My father's only crime was to have lived too long and therefore, in the UCLH's eyes, not worth their time and investment, so left him to die horribly.....At the end, he looked like he'd been in a Concentration Camp....If he had HRH in front of his name, he'd have been taken straight to theatre for lifesaving surgery....This was ageist medicine at its very worst....I am posting this review after the catalogue of negligence this awful hospital inflicted on my mother and late father...I am pursuing the UCLH through legal channels as the normal complaints procedures (GMC and PHSO) are a total waste of time as the medical profession is largely a closed shop...
