Hi all,
I'm updating our 'Going into hospital' booklet and I'd really like to include some real-life experiences of anyone affected by Parkinson's who has had a stay in hospital. Positive or negative, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for considering!
Hi Karen,
have just spent two weeks in a hospital, and would be pleased to let you have all the details in private, but not public just yet as I'm still under their care
What I will say publicly now is that the staff were absolutely brilliant.
When I arrived at the accident and emergency dept, they wanted to keep me in as I had a serious but easily treatable problem, if caught and treated fast enough.
I said the only way that I would be admitted was for it to be noted on the admissions form that I could self medicate for PD. I told them about the "get it on time campaign" and they printed it off straight away and put it with my notes.
Things went very well for two weeks.
