My spouse attended ER with a deep glass laceration to their hand recently. They were seen to quite quickly but within a couple of hours it was determined the hand would need repair by plastic surgeon. My spouse was transfered to the short stay ward and was told to fast in preparation for surgery. Almost 4 days later, 3 x 20+ hour fasts, 3 x cannula replacements, I believe they were still waiting for surgery. My spouse was admitted as a private patient and we requested someone look into the option to have them transferred to a private hospital if it would get them seen to more quickly and I feel everyone I dealt with was vague or not assisting of the process. My partner had been cancelled 3 times and told to fast yet again and no indication of when surgery will take place.
