Hand cut with circular saw the A&E staff were wonderful very skilful and supportive
I was in theatre for 2 hrs. the operation was successful, however that's when the wheels came off.
The surgeon tried to discharge me but could not as I was not officially admitted
It took 3hrs to get me admitted & discharged. All this time the surgeon was tied up with what I felt was a pile of pointless beurocracy.
