Hello,
My dad died in May last year and I have pondered numerous times as to whether to complain to the CQC as to the way he died and the hospital's way in which it dealt with him and with me. There were not enough doctors over the Bank Holiday weekends (he was in over two which were close together) and I believe that fluids were given to him which caused him to drown/suffocate after he had recovered from pneumonia. I did send in a form after his death and his notes were looked at (I was told) but the whole thing still plays on my mind. I don't want anyone else's loved one going through something similar but is it worthwhile to bring it all up again. I just don't know. Thank you for any advice or help.
