I went to my GP on 13/1/14 at about 10.30 am with abscesses to the lower part of my back, my GP sent me straight to the S.A.U. in Arrowe Park where I was examined and told I would need surgery. I waited until 8.00 pm and was told I would not get operated until the next day. I was told to be there at 8.00 am and was third in line and would be out by 12.00 am. I was still there at 4.30 when I decided to go home. I had nothing to eat or drink for two days. I suffer with a bad back and am recovering from a knee replacement that went wrong and I am on a lot of painkillers. I asked for pain killers all day on the 13/1/14 and was given oromorph at about 7.45 and on 14/1/14 I was given 30mg dihydrocodeine at about 100 I was left in pain for the best part of two days, there is a lot more to this story like a have a piece of paper saying that I had received antibiotics and pain killers by IV and I never.
