"Need an amputation but getting nowhere"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary

(as the patient),

I feel I am getting nowhere at the Newcastle RVI Hospital.

I was badly crushed to the lower part of my left arm 4 yrs ago and in the last 20mnths i have suffered severe chronic nerve damage which has left me with no movement in the limb.

I have no life with these conditions and have been advised this limb is needing to be amputated as there is no chance of all the problems getting any better and the limb has recently started breaking out with sores that are really nasty, pus and bleeding from the limb which is just adding more probs to an arm that is already useless.

But i have gone on now without the proper medical help that i need. It seems the experts that should be getting me sorted are not interested.
