Went for minor surgery to remove two moles, service provided by Health Harmonie. I was in and out quickly and they were friendly during the procedure.
However, they didn't sew my wound up properly - I ended up being patched up in A&E two days later. I'm gonna end up with a huge scar now, and the wound was gaping open and vulnerable to infection.
I thought I had done something to pop the stitches, but the A&E doctor told me it hadn't been sewn up correctly - the stitch didn't pull the skin shut. I didn't notice until I went to change my dressing, but by then it had already started healing like that and it was too late to close it up completely.
