Long wait for surgery

Posted By angelofmine2019

"Long wait for surgery"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / General Surgery (Wards 16-18)

(as the patient),

I have been waiting on colorectal surgery since summer 2017, which was when I received my first pre-assessment of many and at this present time, I'm no further forward with a possible surgery date. The effect the waiting time and bowel condition has had and still has on my physical health, mental health, home life, work life, relationship etc has been horrendous.
