My doctor since my first time in hospital back in early 2015. Great kidney - renal doctor and would trust my life with her. Attended outpatient appointment with this doctor jan 7th 2016 for my ongoing kidney artery treatment , inflamed (rare vasculitis) and she could see me struggle to breath and kept me in for test at Leeds St James Hospital. Within few days we found that we could rule out any clots an the heart was 100% okay. No chest infection in sight . . so all good news so far.. Then I got slapped in the face hard with bad news that my lungs were deteriorating and no way back for them or any medical treatment to stop the deterioration. . Only way forward was to accept a little home help and slow things down to ease the shortness of breath and also try for upgrade type of portable oxygen from present tanks. Doctor Emma Dunn did all she could to help with this and we thought best to stay a little longer in hospital until home situation had been made better. After 5 more days and no improvement in sight due to hospital/ward admins not doing their job and unable to communicate correctly with Mid yorks trust to help the situation.. The whole thing was a failed experience and I was left sat twiddling my thumbs and taking a bed up for nothing for nearly a week. . I should have just gone home after scan results and sorted it all from home myself. . Not the doctors fault and I was very well looked after on the ward (J49) by nurses and domestics but am very dissapointed in the admin side of things. I had a very abrupt discharge and left feeling quite angry at the outcome because I was going back to the same situation that was not helping me at all.
