Hi there, my parent recently spent 3 days on Surgical ward and required 2 x blood transfusions for anaemia, they are quite elderly. Just want to feedback a couple of things regarding their stay and discharge.
Unfortunately, they were in a room that the blind was broken, so they were quite disoriented about day and night when they got home. Their dressing gown was left behind and family had to go back and get it (they have memory loss and was unaware it was left behind), and the last thing was that my parent's cannula was left in and was only discovered when their grandchild went to give them their night time medication.
Luckily a nurse in the family was able to remove it the night they got home. We don't want anyone to get into trouble but needed to let you know.
