[Margaret Pilkington]

John, I could tell you a very similar tale about my daughter.
On the morning of her discharge from hospital( she was sent in by her GP with a rapid irregular heartbeat - over 150bpm) the Registrar said to her 'I don't know why you were sent back to hospital' in a scathing tone.

In the normal course of events, and if my daughter(being a feisty so and so) had been well, she would have given her an answer that she would not have forgotten in a hurry...but being ill and feeling vulnerable she just asked for the phone and rang her husband to pick her up.
Hospital was the very last place she wanted to be, and she cried all the way to RBH in the car clutching her admission letter from the GP.

I am appalled at the treatment that is meted out to patients who are vulnerable and sick.
