"abysmal post operative care."

About: University Hospital Of North Tees

underwent spinal surgery on 8th July and woke up with some very unpleasant side effects including paraplegia of my left leg. .Of course side effects of any procedure are to be borne in mind by any candidate for surgery. My criticism is that the problems I have are likely to get worse the longer they are left. Most sources say they shoul be sorted out very quickly. My medical records have been marked to the effect that I should be seem to as 'a matter of urgency' and yet I have just been told that it could be weeks before I can expect the necessary intervention. If you need orthopeadic treatment I should try James Cook.
