Cut a long story short ,about 2 weeks ago I had a Thorn pierce my boot whilst out walking the dogs. Didn't worry too much about it till last Thursday my foot became infected and too swollen to get any footwear on. Local GP receptionist was not interested as its "only a swollen foot" so, as the pain became unbearable, I took myself off to MK hospital A&E last Friday. After waiting 5 hours I was seen by a Doctor where it became obvious that we were experiencing a slight language barrier. The resulting treatment left both the doctor and myself covered in blood as he tried to place a Cannula in my hand using a waste bin as an improvised treatment table-when this was done I was sent home with antibiotics and a wave.
By this Tuesday I was so ill that I could not walk or eat/drink and the Mrs called out my GP.
The idiot of a Doctor had prescribed a drug not used for my kind of infection but also known to create Toxic levels of chemicals when mixed with one of my daily Tablets and my Consultant informed me yesterday that I would have suffered Kidney damage which is not good news because I have a Transplanted Kidney.-Cheers Doc
