"Unsatisfactory treatment"

The service on welton ward was great

It was the whole process from a&e and then not being able to have a scan on my back immediately to assess what damage had occurred 

Then more delays to get images checked 

To been seen eventually 5 days later by a doctor from another city, who was great initially and I was hopeful for recovery 

Then I went home for half an hour to be told to come back in to ward as the doctor wanted to see me again

We came back straight away and then waited 3 hrs for said doctor, only to be told they had gone back to their city, leaving another doctor to tell me that they had decided that an operation would make no difference and I was duly discharged with a follow up outpatient appointment to be sent through 

I am left with a paralysed foot which to me is a huge life changing issue and feel that maybe if my care was initially handled in a different manner - I think the severity of my injury was not picked up upon and there may have been a different outcome if it was 

No one was able to answer the questions I had about recovery or dealing with this injury if it is indeed to be permanent

I feel let down and traumatised by the whole incident 

I realise that not everyone has the outcome they want and not every problem can be fixed but there are for me , an awful lot of " what ifs?"
