Got taken to A&E last night with pain in my shoulders and my hands were shaking so much I couldn`t hold a cup (suspected Parkinsons). The two paramedics who turned up to check me out insisted I go to hospital. Spent a couple of hours waiting to see a Doctor, various things could be causing my problem from the mentioned Parkinsons to a mini stroke and everything in-between. All the Staff were brilliant from the Porters to the Doctors, always had great service from everybody involved. Did notice lot of older people being pushed around in wheelchairs or on trollies and came to the conclusion that lots of them were well enough to go home but had nobody at home to look after them. so were blocking up the system, so much for care in the community.
Just had a phone call from the hospital and got an appointment at the "Minor Stroke Clinic" on Tuesday.
