Father's treatment & final days

Posted By polarisrp48

"Father's treatment & final days"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / General Surgery (wards 63, 64, 65, 66,& 67) Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Imaging

(as a relative),

My father waited 2 years for his gallbladder removed, and after getting spasms in stomach, in early April, he phoned an ambulance, as nobody could see him,

He went to Glasgow royal infirmary,and was in 3 weeks,, before eventually getting an MRI scan. Unfortunately the results came back,as full internal cancer,,and he passed away within a week.

He was so fit & healthy,,and myself & family are so sure if he was treated before waiting 2 years, he'd still be here,, totally shocking..!!! We are all so much heart broken & trying to get answers, but we believe the NHS 2 year wait was certainly the cause.
