Had varicose vein surgery on 8 Nov well looked after and during my op and on discharge was told to return 48 hours later to have dressing reduced and checked was told to come back to ward after 11am after waiting an hour was then told they couldn't see me and was transferred to barley court had to walk there from main hospital on crutches was then told as I had no appointment I would have to wait after a total of nearly 51/2 hours no dressings available and then being taken back to where I started from I felt really disappointed how I was treated I was then told my follow up treatment to remove stitches will not be done at the hospital but to contact my gp they do not carry out this procedure
I really feel that if it was an elderly person that this happened to I would be concerned I feel the after care response needs to be addressed
"Varicose vein surgery poor after care"
