There is nothing worse when attending a hospital and facing:
- Ageist language (exclusion);
- A medical professional cutting you short, listening issues;
- Suggestions that you are too old for medical treatment, Ageist assumptions;
- Medical person talking exclusively with a carer, partner rather than the patient.
Important: We have given the hospital in these case studies every opportunity to address any issues raised.
Any synopsis is based on responses (if any) and outcomes.
