I had an operation I didn't need

"I had an operation I didn't need"

About: St James's University Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

Last month I been put to operation and I didn't need.

I see 4 doctors and they all told me that I have appendicitis. So when I wake up I ask them if was that they said yes and all was removed. 3 weeks after when pain back I go to gp and they told me my appendicitis was send to lab and everything was fine with this. I back to hospital with that pain and they after 2 days send me home because they don't know and I have to back to gp. And doctor just said "if you know, that was not appendicitis, but don't worry you don't need that any way". I am sorry but I was week off from work and I will not be paid for this and I had operation I didn't need.
