"A recent procedure"

About: Wonthaggi Hospital / Acute Ward

(as the patient),

Since my procedure earlier this year I have suffered ongoing headaches, loss of balance, dizziness, tremors, impairment of sight, hearing, speech, cognition and reduced well being due to a CSF Leak. The medical team that attended to me were generally first-rate but I feel should be made aware that these symptoms may result from a spinal anaesthetic so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

Dear greenet34,

This is very concerning feedback and we would very much like to speak with you as soon as possible so that we can make sure you are ok. I am unable to identify you from your post so could you please call me on 0472846355. I will organise for someone to follow you up immediately and we will review your care whilst you were with us.

Thank you so much for providing us with this feedback; it is very important that we know when there are issues post operatively.

Kind Regards, Jan
