I had a pilonidal sinus, I went in for surgery, however, within 2 weeks it was back as the offending foreign body was left in place. I was then admitted and was left for days with no named surgeon. I was discharged and sent for tests, when I arrived for my consultation they had prepared the wrong test.
I had more surgery and discharged, again re infected, was told by another surgeon that they would operate but would find nothing as it was all in my head. i discharged myself, taken in again and told my coxyx would need to be removed following my MRI, then told I didnt need it, went to Exeter, foreign object removed, 4 months of vacuum therapy and all sorted, was in my head was it, all that pain, labled a junkie, Thanks Torbay, made complaints but not even a phone call, was told I was being ungrateful!
