"Lost me on their system"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / General Surgery Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Radiology (X-rays and Scans)

(as the patient),

Well where do I start. I was admitted in twice in one week by ambulance with terrible pain which turned out to be stones in my gallbladder. Was told at the time my scan was very clear and detailed and showed I didn't have, only to be told after mri I did have, bare in mind I had been sent home between scan and mri, my mri was done on the Tuesday after a muck up of communication, fasted for 7 hours through the day, was told someone would be to see me that night or next day with results, no-one came I layer til the Thursday night, bare in mind I hadn't seen a consultant since the Monday morning, no-one came near me I kept asking the nurse why no doctor has come to see me for 3 days, turns out they lost me on their system, they had no recollection of me even being there. I have been in pain constantly now week 18 on waiting list, my weight has plummeted so much, when will I ever get my operation, just want my life back.

Dear Porsha,

Thanks for getting in touch via CareOpinion. I'd like to help and if you can please get in touch to give me some more details regarding where you were seen, what ward and Consultant are looking after you I can investigate further to see what further we can do.

I'm really sorry your experience was not all you would have hoped for and from your comments it certainly appears we have fallen short of what we would expect.By providing some details I can investigate further and get back to you with any relevant updates.

please email on c.matthew@nhs.net

lookign forward to hearing from you.
