I believe the Royal Perth Hospital are only giving my spouse 50mg Tramadol every 2 hours for pain relief. My spouse cries from the pain so much they black out to go to sleep and it seems no doctors arrive until about 8:30am (If my spouse is lucky!). They have taken bone samples out of their ankle and still no morphine has been given, their drugs wear off around 3am, they don't arrive to resupply my spouse with tramadol until the morning when they get there.
My spouse has an infected fractured ankle so they cant walk and in my opinion, the nurse who cares for them has no experience with the drug equipment my spouse is hooked to.
At the time of writing this, it has been 6 days my spouse has screamed themselves to sleep, (I sleep in my spouse's room with them to care for them) I have been told we would still be here for another week or two. I still hear my spouse screaming while I'm asleep in my dreams. I need help to stop this trauma I feel my spouse is going through.
