My brother had a serious accident with life changing injuries in February 2018 and was admitted to the royal infirmary Edinburgh. I feel that his treatment has been nothing short of disgusting.
He has 3 shattered limbs which were operated on with little or NO follow up resulting in other injuries and more surgery to come. As a result of his accident he has a diagnosis of complex PTSD, this was made worse by his treatment while in hospital. I have witnessed some awful, callous treatment by front line staff. Staff should all be trauma informed but NONE that I encountered seemed to care at all.
After 2 years of my brother desperately trying to get medical staff to listen to him he received X-rays and a scan where it was discovered he still has broken bones and the steel rods and screws had all moved causing pain and injuries to his other leg. As his sister it makes me so angry to witness how hard he tries and how he has been treated by the NHS. He’s received an apology by letter for some of his treatment, but this is not enough.
"An apology letter is not enough"
