AIBU?
To expect DH's office to call me when he's taken to hospital?

DH had a seizure at work yesterday and they called an ambulance. They didn't call me to let me know. I only found out when DH himself called from the ambulance but he was groggy and didn't make much sense. I called his office and they couldn't tell me which hospital he'd gone to. Thankfully, DH called me back and told me. He's fine now so no harm done but I'm a tad cheesed off with them.

Well, I'm trying to play it down as no real harm was done. The thing is, he's quite poorly anyway (having chemo) so they really should have taken extra care. Not a lot I can do, though. If he wants to complain, he can but I can't really go over his head and complain myself. Just wanted to have a bit of a moan about it so thanks for listening!

meybe you should complain though, report it to HR. They should have procedures in place for this sort of thing which obviously weren't followed.
You are the next of kin and it is you who is affected by this failure to follow procedure.
You don't have to make it confrontational or awkward, just make them aware of the failure and tell them it mustn't happen again
sorry to hear he is so poorly

I'm waiting to see what DH says when he gets home. I think they are aware of the failure as the main boss, who wasn't in the office at the time, sent someone over to the hospital as soon as he found out with instructions to bring DH all the way home to Hertfordshire in a cab at the company's expense. Nice gesture but it would have been even more infuriating if I'd arrived at the hospital to find he'd already left!
