"Hysterectomy stitches"

About: Whiston Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

Had a full hysterectomy approximately 3 weeks ago. I couldn’t sleep last night properly as I felt uncomfortable.

My experience of this hospital is appalling. First, the operation was ok but if you want to take your own medication in don’t, they just took mine out of my bag about to give them to me as I am self taking. I didn’t want them at the time they wanted me to have them.

I recovered from that episode but was glad to get out of there, I left that day. As I left had dressing changed & no mention of stiches so when in bed and I saw stiches, I took them out last night.

I'm so appalled at the staff not telling me. It should have been in my notes or file but nothing from the staff. I'd rather go to the new royal in future.
