Finally got away from this god forsaken hell hole today after months of trying to get referred to a more competent hospital, in the end it took a letter from my solicitor, the only staff that were fantastic were the ones on the SAU and ward 10, my consultant admitted numerous times he wasn’t sure what the problem was and even though it’s ended up part of me is really swollen and smells like rotting flesh where a wound is I still get told that everything is fine then finally because they can’t explain the problem the consultant then starts to blame me saying it’s my fault the problem is going away because I’m doing to much to the affected area but his instructions have been to wash the wound as normal then place a light dressing over it which is exactly what I’ve done now it’s my fault for following his instructions, this is how silly it got in the end he had the nurse put on a dressing then bandage it up extremely tightly around swelling which caused extreme pain but he didn’t listen ( so I took a picture of it ) then I had to come back the following week to have it changed and discuss more surgery which I did I walked in the room and the first thing he said was you have taken that dressing off and messed with it to which I laughed and said no I haven’t and I had the photo to prove that the dressing was exactly the same as when I left the room to which he had nothing to say, anybody reading this please do not attend this hospital even if it takes a little longer go to another one, even if I am on my last legs I will not attend this hospital again in my life.
