"ENT Lack of treatment"

About: Raigmore Hospital / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as the patient),

I was referred with an ongoing problem following surgery in England in 2010. I was given a scan and told I would be reviewing it with the consultant. This didn't happen. They said it was clear and nothing to explain internal pain I have had for 5 years. I was left with things so bad I had to push around the area and found there was a structure which moved. It appears that all along a nasal implant which was inserted very badly in England was slipping through my flesh. The member of staff who i seen made no mention of this and actually turned from helpful to nasty as though they were trying to scare me. The member of staff who i saw simply wrote a letter saying things were clear and ended any hope of treatment and help right there. They most certainly were not clear and made me quite ill. It has been a horrendous experience.

Dear Xeenshie

It is most unsatisfactory for anyone in our care to describe their experience as horrendous. I would like to understand what has happened to make sure we apologise to you and make sure nobody else suffers in the same way.

Can you let me know if you would like to make a formal complaint or speak to me direct so I can look into your care.

You can speak to me on 01463 704722 or email to maimie.thompson@nhs.net and I will be pleased to look into this on your behalf.

Maimie
