The appointment nobody arranged

Illustrated Story C24, with a text transcript.

Read story C24: The appointment nobody arranged (image and text)
Six-panel illustrated story: The appointment nobody arranged. A family checks who will arrange follow-up and how to seek urgent help sooner.

Follow-up after delirium: who reviews the continuing problems?

Moira is ready for the next stage of care, but her family has only been told to seek follow-up. They ask who will arrange it and what it is meant to assess. The team makes the responsibility explicit. A workable plan names a route to review and a route to urgent help if something changes sooner.

Example case. Names and dialogue are illustrative. Individual experiences and recovery vary.
