Hospital breakout

My dad is very elderly and terminal with just days left.  He wants to go home but can't get discharged.  I'm going to get him out regardless as it's cruel for him to be somewhere he doesn't want to be.  I realise we will loose any possibility of practical help but can anyone tell me where we stand on getting medication?

  • Hi there ...

    You push for it .. I can't believe how some Drs think they know better .. if he wants to go home, they should support you .. though it will be tough ... call Marie Currie... they specialise in terminal patients and their families .. go on their web site and ask them how you can do this .. they may still support and help you .. 

    I hope someone has more info then me .. I'm really hoping you get him home .. Chrissie xx 

  • Thank you.  I'm nervous but have to do it tomorrow.  Every hour is precious for him.  

  • Just wish I lived near .. we'd get him out ... one way or another ... I'd cause a stink and you could whisk him away .. but seriously , I so hope you do this .. even if you sign a discharge form .. think we'd all be there with you .. you'd get lots of support here ...

    Let us know how you go ...  Chrissie xx
