Poor support
My mother was admitted due to poor mental health and alcohol intoxication. My mother heard the nurse say that they her department was not for people like her ( being intoxicated) and to go home and drink her normal amount of alcohol. I spoke with the discharge nurse and asked her what amount would that be as she is not an alcoholic and was binge drinking due to her mental health she didn’t have a satisfactory answer and dismissed me and just asked to pick her up and she was being discharged now. So my mum took her advice, reduced her alcohol intake and contacted mental health services which the discharge nurse and I both knew would be stretched and would not be able to help immediately. It took them three weeks before they could come and see my mom. She died from alcoholic ketoacidosis 12 days after being discharged and several days before any mental health recovery team made contact. No info was given about AKA.
