In need of some help

"In need of some help"

About: Bunbury Hospital

(as a carer),

My spouse has a dissecting abdominal aorta aneurysm that, I believe, the doctor in WA said they will not do the op until they have no choice and the Bunbury Hospital keeps treating them like rubbish in my opinion. One of the doctor's told my spouse that they will do the test or they will be sent home with pain killers and I believe they have sent my spouse home unwell and with infectious colitis.

They have several other chronic conditions and we have just got them on the NDIS. We have a young child that is missing out on doing things because we are worried that the aneurysm might dissect. My spouse is very upset because no one will help them and they are in a lot of pain near the groin area. This has been going on for years now, I feel that some help would be nice.
