Hi I am currently in the middle of making a claim to NHS for medical negligance for my nightmare appendicities operation. In short here is what happened It took them 2 days to diagnose I eventually had key hole to remove appendicities Once back on ward i became very ill was left like tis for 2 days surgeons then finally decided to investigate so came a 2nd operation This time i was cut open and left with a horrendus scar which is approx 8 inches long with huge flap going over They found they had made a hole whilst removing appendicities, but never saw it after that long op i was in intensice care, on cafeters etc, couldnt walk and was in extreme pain also had tubes draining my stomach out due to all the leakage then after this the scar became infected, staples were removed and 1pint of puss was removed, as it became infected The scar then had to be left open and packed daily from the inside was in hospital for a about 3 weeks was discharged (with drips etc) still in hands once home had daily visits from nurse to pack my open wound was very poorly throughout y visit to hospital, lost a huge amount of weight, was off work for months and now have a few defaults as couldnt keep up with payments After all this, i have had to have plastic surgery to improve scar (done on nhs) and after last consultaion they are now going to perform liposuction in nov to reduce the flap Mentally it has ruined my life im a young girl of 22, beach trips and bikini's are my worst fear, the scar has made me lose all confidence. i also feel the care in general was very poor?? I was just curious to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this and to ask if ppl think its worth claiming! Please tell me what you think?
