“He wasn't readmitted ass a precaution . he was rushed to intensive care with fractured ribs and a punctured lung which the hospital had failed to notice before discharging him. He stopped breathing at home, suffering from internal breathing and multiple fractured ribs and had to be resuscitated by his son via CPR and rushed off in an emergency ambulance. I know because I am his next door neighbour. I hope & pray he will pull through this but is currently in intensive care in Frenchay.”
