Bearing in mind we were at St Bart’s hospital to fix a problem with the last procedure…
Briefly, the surgery appears to have gone well but, (and there’s always a but when St Bart’s hospital is concerned) Nuria was told that antibiotics would be given before the procedure to counter act the new wire and replacement battery. The surgeon came at around half 4 saying that the procedure went well but, he had ‘forgotten’ to make sure the antibiotics were given and that they were going to administer them late. It then turns out that the antibiotics were actually indeed given at the time of the procedure. So, Nuria has now had a double dose and one of the possible side effects is that she could end up with tinnitus. I suffer with tinnitus and it bloody annoying. The nursing staff have said that she could/should complain and I think we will. Nuria is still in hospital for the night, though they did say she would be from the onset this morning. I wish she was home with me, I’m no doctor but the level of care here would be farbetter!
You really couldn’t make this up! Reminds me of the carry on film set in the hospital!
