  All too often now the focus in hospitals appears to be in determining what is not wrong with you rather than finding the problem and treating it. At least two of us in my family have found ourselves rushed in by ambulance only to be told in the early hours of the morning that we could find our way home because the condition was not what they were checking for. When you ask what it is they tell you to contact your GP.
  
  Basically this is the hospitals adopting a variation of the old practice of saying "take two aspirins and call in the morning". Nobody seems to be telling them that there is supposed to be an emphasis on prevention and that the quickest way of preventing further admissions is to actually find out what the problem is and deal with it. Being friendly and helpful takes the same amount of time as being off-hand and surly but is better for all concerned.
  
  I hope Charlotte is comfortable and will soon get the treatment she needs for a quick recovery.
