General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The system is definitely broken at Wigan A&E. I got a phone call at 5-50 am of a doctor from the hospital asking me WHY I HAD admitted Yvonne into hospital. She said she could not get any sense out of Yvonne.She was told Yvonne has Vascular Dementia and as short term memory loss and I had not admitted her to hospital. It was a GP from our surgery who had examined Yvonne and called for the rapid response ambulance plus the normal ambulance .I gave her a potted history over the phone then I printed off Yvonne's notes which I can access online and then took these up to the hospital and gave them to the nurse looking after Yvonne. I said if I can access Yvonne's medical notes the hospital should be able to do the same I did not get to see the Doctor because the nurse did not know where she was and did not know when she would be doing her rounds Maybe when i go up later I will have more luck
