Explanation

Summary - capable and well organised Our teenage son spent a total of nine nights in an NHS hospital, having been admitted by ambulance, barely conscious from internal bleeding. He underwent three diagnostic procedures but was discharged with two further procedures to follow at some yet unknown date, and no real explanation of what had caused him to become so seriously unwell was ever provided. Moreover, there were no reassurances that the problem would not reoccur in the meantime. In contrast, we made an appointment on the following Monday to see Dr O’Donohue on the Wednesday, and by the time we spoke to him a diagnostic procedure had already been booked for the Friday. A procedure to treat the problem, which had been detected on the Friday, was carried out the following Monday by Dr O’Donohue. We hope this has finally resolved the issue. The diagnostic procedure that was done privately was the same as the one done twice by the NHS, and we cannot understand how they did not spot the problem. So whilst the NHS was not only inefficient but seemingly also incompetent, the private service was both capable and well-organised. Our son was in the private hospital for a few hours on each of two days – in contrast with over a week as an inpatient on the NHS. Our only criticism of the private hospital where we saw Dr O'Donohue is the ridiculous amount of admin needed – does anyone have nothing better to do than spend hours filling in virtually identical forms?
