QUIZ

Firstly, which hospital which describes itself as “one of the world’s leading cardiothoracic hospitals” did not consultant a relevant specialist and mistakenly told a patient with a spinal injury that she would become “one of those people who you see walking around bent over”? This caused her untold distress.

Also, when asked by the patient to only discuss with her how she was feeling [while waiting for treatment], which hospital completely ignored this request and carried on speaking only to her son. Unfortunately [as she had suspected] he was wrongly describing her as feeling much better than she in fact was. This of course put her health and wellbeing at serious risk.

Although she had contacted the hospital previously to find out who her consultant was, this information was unfortunately unable to be found.

Secondly, which private healthcare company, after treating a patient as part of an NHS contract, now seems to be trying to avoid paying her the amount agreed with the NHS chief executive following publication on Facebook of her counselling notes? The notes had been passed to a third party by two staff of the private hospital in question.
