Poor treatment by staff following bowel surgery

Posted By MaggieC

"Poor treatment by staff following bowel surgery"

About: East Surrey Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

I was recently an in patient of ESH and was appalled by the treatment I received.

I had a keyhole operation on my small bowel which meant I was in hospital for 3 days during that time nobody came to check my wound or change the dressing. I have since got an infection in my wound and I am having to attend Crawley Hosp to get it seen to.

Also I consider the level of care very poor as I was left ages before anyone came to check on me. I also suffer for coelic decease and great diffilculty sometimes making the staff realise that. I was so glad to get home, and hope I never have to go into ESH again.
