During my procedure there were complications and I was left with some pain in my arm and raised blood pressure. As a result I was kept in overnight. During that period I was surprised at how few times my blood pressure was monitored. My other observation was that there was no linkage between the Consultant who operated on me and advised that I should stay in and I had no follow up from him before I was discharged. I was required to explain to the discharging doctor what the problem had been and I felt that the Consultant should have checked my situation before I was discharged, and I felt that I was discharged by a doctor who had no real knowledge of my issues. Having said the ward staff were really good as was the operating team. I would also say that the team at Gloucester were fantastic when I went in the previous week and I cannot complain at the speed as to which I was operated upon, and thank you very much for that.
