Professionally... Screwed

The NHS… Social Care… Health/Social Care Professionals as individuals… The DWP… I cannot understand WHY they have to Work So Hard at being a closed-down, Inhumane, Debasing Machine….

In Tandem, They OWN You… And Truly Believe That They Should.

I’m trying to literally just survive now… I’ve been given a SEVERE Post-Op Infection by a hospital department that Ran Me Down To Nothing for over 4 Months, making me wait for DESPEREATELY needed surgery… Deemed “URGENT” by the Consultant Himself.

For 6 Months I haven’t been able to eat almost At All. I’ve barely MANAGED ANY Fluids Per Day. The Catheter they then inserted into me was The Wrong One — one that I was BADLY Allergic to— and I developed an Antibiotic Resistant Infection. FIVE attempts and it’s STILL There [Is it any wonder, though, if I’ve eaten next to nothing for Half A Year??]

So, I’m trying to “fight” this, but at the same time, I’m also Drowning In Appointments. Even down to GP KNOWING that the latest infection-searching swab could be taken at home by my mother (Retired RN) and it could be taken straight to them; easier for all. Instead sheinsists she needs to send Nurses out here — Yesterday — and therefore FORCES Me go downstairs to see them (UTTERLY WRECKING ME) and have them take the swab instead. On A Day where I’m barely even starting to recover from driving a 4-hour roundtrip to an appointment two days prior… AND when there’s also a Telephone Appointment already set up for the same day as that swab, about something else - Oh, ad THAT just HAD to be done PRECISELY THEN, too.

There’s ANOTHER Phone appointment EARLY on Monday… Then TWO MORE appointments far enough away it requires a 5 day hotel booking to make it to them.
