"Lack of discharge care"

I was recently admitted to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital for Acute Colitis caused by 2 bacterial infections including Salmonella. During my few days stay, my electrolytes were extremely low and I was unable to eat or drink anything (fluids intravenously only) until the day I was discharged. I was given a bag of medication to take with me on discharge, however was given no guidance as to diet or electrolyte management during my recovery at home from this serious condition. I am immunocompromised so I am at greater risk of serious complications. While the care I received was of a high standard, I believe I should have been provided with proper management advice on my discharge, beyond pure medication, in order to assist me in my recovery at home. While I am an informed health consumer, with significant experience managing my multiple co-morbidities, I did not leave the hospital feeling confident about how to self manage this serious condition and maximise my recovery.
