  1. Thank you. Will speak to them. i cant find any forums or sites who name this company but i was redirected through Amazon!
  2. i recently was directed to this site after looking for an ipod nano 5th generation for a xmas present. This site looks genuine and it had the apple logo. I paid for the 'ipod' and then a couple of days later, tried to log back in to track the order and couldnt get back in with the details i had put in. I received my item today, 2 weeks after order and it is a fake. I had already been conned on ebay but the person who sold it to me actually gave me my money back so i had no problem. The despatch note with the item doesnt tell me what i have paid for and it doesnt give an address to send it back to. i have left message on the email address (4th). i am livid as i cannot afford the £72 which i have paid which i might as well as thrown to the wind. So be careful
  3. i do know what you mean as my hospital in question is Stafford. Thing is, i battled to get to the point i am at and really i think PALS knew i wont give up. I hate the fact i have to fight. My latest set back is that the Trust's so called audit of the surgeons work have come up with the fact that he has done nothing wrong. They went as far as to say they didnt know where the healthcare commission (in my case) got its info from and that he followed certain procedures (noted). Trouble is that the info they put in the report was inaccurate. And so i fight on. Loads of codwallop designed to make you give up or run out of steam but i wont. I will keep battling to make sure it doesnt happen to anybody else. I agree with the major healthcare report. Something drastic needs to happen to safeguard patients otherwise nothing changes! As for whistleblowing - 2 members of staff witnessed remarks and conversations which was said to me by registrars and denied it afterwards. If i could take these to court then i bloody would. How can patients get anywhere with consultants / registrars/ members of staff's treatment of them and change this culture when they lie to protect the staff doing all this. Not just in my case. I could go on and on! Through all the crap that is going on, if it wasnt for the chief exec's intervention then i would not have got the treatment i had. If you have got a mouth then i would say use it else you get nowhere in this world. I pity the people who cant as it shouldnt be this way. One thing though, PALS should not be in hospitals as how can they be independant?
  4. yes i agree totally but in my case, i went through all the appropriate channels with my complaint and ended up with the healthcare commission which upheld it. They also made good points in the letter which helped me in making a decision in making a claim. It was also the case that the consultant didnt apologise and actually stopped me having treatment that was also the deciding factor. I had to go internally to the chief exec to get another consultant pretty quickly!!!! so to your reply, i do say look into things thoroughly and give enough time to let your head do the work and not your heart as my heart would have him go through the exact same as i went through. It is a lengthy process and not all solicitors will take on these sort of cases so its a matter of looking into things quite doggedly. In my case, i kept a diary and every little bit of communication going so that i had back up to everything that was said and done etc as my case was complicated. I went through pals first and I am now in a positon to follow through. I am at the complicated part of finding somebody willing to help on a no win no fee basis. I have had a couple willing to take me on but then wanted a huge amount as 'insurance' so i plod on. It is extremelly difficult task so people have to have that in mind as well as the fact that it could get dirty. Trouble is that when you are left in the air with a medical problem which was caused by a practitioner, it just makes you even more determined to seek justice. Too late now for sorry's. Heres where the hard work starts. Its not a route for everybody but when going down this way, you need to look objectively at whether you have a case. I would reccomend going to pals first to find out what to do when the complaint system has been exhausted at the hospital and go from there as they are unbiased Sharon:rolleyes:
  5. Hi, i have had exactly the same happen to me. I was operated twice but the actual ins and outs are complicated. I went through the complaints procedure (hospital was useless and not helpful at all) and my complaint was upheld by the healthcare commission. Did you go through these? I have exactly the same pain too as your girlfriend on the same side!!!!! I went through pals who put me through to another organisation. They look at your complaint and tell you whether they think you have a case and actually reccomend solicitors so that you make a choice. How far have you got as i have only just accessed this site. It would be interesting to find out as im at the stage of finding a solicitor
