"Surgery cancelled 3 times"

I had been in the short stay unit of Fiona Stanley Hospital for 72 hours and my surgery had been cancelled 3 times already.

I initially presented to a local hospital hospital whose team were fantastic. They advised I must present to the transit lounge of FSH by a certain time so we raced back to Perth early in the morning to ensure we were on time.

The plastics team examined me for 2 minutes and I was admitted around 8 hours later. They dropped by again at for another 2 minutes on the following morning and did not even bother to come at all on the day after.

Each day I had to fast for 16 hours only to be told at the last call it's not going to happen. Being hungry all day long I feel is inhumane. I've had an open wound for around 4 days which was incredibly uncomfortable

I'm terrified of having surgery and sitting around waiting all day long only makes my fear and anxiety worse. I believe there is zero communication, I have no idea what is going on with my case. I feel there are lots of excuses are being thrown around, I recall a senior staff member even came and basically told me too bad so sad, we're busy.

The plastics team are seemingly out of sight, inaccessible and, I believe, won't answer the phone for the nurses half the time.
