Needing a TURP

"Needing a TURP"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Urology (Ward 6)

(as a relative),

Briefly, urine retention, saw GP, who pH urologist, sent to A&E. No urol. avail, catheter fitted by A&E consult. 10days later saw urol. nurse. 13WEEKs later saw urol consult then 11WEEKS later had TURP. During My 24wks had many infections and catheter changes but treated as trivial complaint.

could have been improved by treating the patient, not the condition.
