"Liver Surgery"

About: Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital / Hepatology Department and Liver Transplant Service

(as the patient),

The surgery has now been cancelled twice last minute. The second time I was gowned up and laying in a bed for 8 hours until they told me it had been cancelled.

The original consultation to figure out what was needed was cancelled twice before I was seen on the third attempt too.

While waiting for my operation (to no longer even go ahead) 3 patients who hasn't signed consent forms (I had signed mine 16 weeks ago) and 2 who I believe had ignored the fasting rules/taken medicine when they weren't supposed to, all still went ahead with their surgery while I had to wait and then be cancelled.

I understand my surgery is complex and only certain surgeons can operate but I feel there has been a severe lack of communication and care for my health
