"Wound treatment "

I presented on 28 July and saw a nurse at about 5 pm with a deep open wound just below my knee cap which she cleaned, glued and dressed. I have since found out from a nurse at my surgery that it should’ve been sutured to keep the wound closed because the skin on the knee moves a lot and also the edges were jagged. A quick google confirms this. As a result the wound has opened up again and nearly 3 weeks later is not healing. Hopefully it will heal but I will be left with more significant scarring. I understand that the staff at the UCC are trained in suturing and I am giving this feedback so that you can learn from my experience to benefit others.
