Went in OK came out with an infection!!

Story from nhs.uk

"Went in OK came out with an infection!!"

About: Torbay Hospital

Had a cystoscopy. Very painful.

Felt that consultant was in a rush and oblivious to my pain.

Not given very much information. The next day I was in pain and shivering.

Saw my GP with urine sample.

Diagnosed infection and now on antibiotics.

Just how well do they clean the camera and other equipment?

Just hope I never have to go back!
