I arrived at the ward for an abdominal hysterectomy
I was taken to theatre I felt the anesthetist was trying to pressure me in to having a spinal epidural I advised that I didn't want this to done as I have a spinal injury
I went to theatre
I was returned to the ward I was teathered to the bed with pressure boots
I was left with no access to the nurse call button
I was also left in soiled wet gown over night with no pressure care as a result I have pressure sores and infection
I also obtained a head injury to the right side side of my head which I have no idea as to how that happened or what has happened to me
My back problem has been made severely worse
I also have puncture marks on my back
I do want to know how I came by my injuries
The nurse in charge of me on 16/09
Was rude and abusive
I asked for help to change into clean clothes and their response was I have more than you to see to and refused to help me leaving me attached to the bed
Drip on one side drains / catheter on the other
And still in soiled clothing
I find this standard of nursing and care to be woefully lacking
