Follow up to my 'Incompetence’ story.
We arrived back in Perth for surgery; the same surgery that was cancelled the previous week, after they explained they could not go ahead as it required a general anaesthetic, as they need to ‘dig deeper’ and it was too risky to use a local.
The day of the surgery, they did a local anaesthetic, after telling us they couldn’t! In my opinion, there is no reason why they could not have done the surgery the previous week then! I feel this contradicted every reason they gave us!
I am beyond annoyed at the level of arrogance and disregard I believe they show to country patients. Everyone keeps saying sorry, you have been through a lot, etc. but I feel nothing ever changes. Again, this is just the latest in a series of neglectful treatment by certain members of this hospital.
Again, in my opinion, the only positive side was the Short Stay nurses who were wonderful and the surgery team (different to the previous week) who did the procedure.
