Fix the system : Man experiences ramping at Rocky hospital

Premium Content Subscriber only A Rockhampton resident is calling on the region’s Queensland members to “fix the system” after witnessing ramping first-hand at Rockhampton Hospital earlier this month. The Rockhampton local, who wished to remain anonymous, said he went to Rockhampton Hospital with chest pain about 5.50pm on April 7 and hoped to get emergency treatment. He said it took about one hour to find somewhere for staff to lie him down for an electrocardiogram. He said he was then moved to a resus bay and noted the Emergency Department was “full of ramped stretchers” with “no room to move”.

Patient sues for $3 5m claiming neglect at Rocky Hospital

Premium Content Subscriber only A former inpatient of Rockhampton Hospital is suing the health service for $3.5 million claiming negligence, after he sustained a nerve injury that he says has left him with a permanent foot drop. Leon Ward, now 39, of Biloela, was admitted as a patient at Rockhampton Hospital in November 2017 for pneumonia. He was discharged on December 29, 2017, and during his admission he was bed-bound for most of the time. Mr Ward alleges he developed a nerve injury which was caused by the compression of the right sciatic nerve. Mr Ward claims the injury developed as he was not turned or repositioned with sufficient frequency while bed-bound to relieve the pressure of the nerve.
