After being on a near starvation diet of low fat yoghurt and milk for a week and a day I now find out that struggle which I’m sure you’ll take very lightly was for no reason at all because my surgery has been cancelled out of nowhere by telephone call I now feel mentally unwell as I’ve been waiting a long time for this and it only had to be done for me to be able to have another surgery I’ve been waiting 10 years for!
Absolutely no care has been put into my mental health after this cancellation out of the blue and quite frankly I feel like I want to kill myself now as I see no other end to this waiting
It is disgusting treatment! I don’t feel confident about having any operations performed at royal Cornwall hospital in Truro which I have to drive 52.3 miles taking 3hours to Make a round trip for every appointment because I live the Cornwall side of the river tamar to be seen in Plymouth which is far far closer!
I was hospitalised via ambulance in my actual local hospital of derriford in Plymouth in October of last year with extreme pain in my abdomen and I was sent home with no pain relief to suffer alone and in private and await surgery in Truro now to be told this I feel like the victim of some colossal sick joke this has made me very unwell mentally as well as physically and I expect nothing will come of this complaint either because I’m used now to the low level of treatment the NHS cornwall provides for me.
