I caught a water infection in Kingsmill Hospital and they did not test me for it.
A qualified doctor came to me to fix a catheter on my penis but he knew that I had been cut on the lining inside my penis and where it was so he had to be careful how he inserted the catheter in me to follow the right channel and not the wrong one leading into the cut. He did his job well and there was no overspill.
Later I was sent home and a few days later a District Nurse came to remove that catheter to see if I could pass water without it. I could not, so she took her time inserting another catheter in me and once again there was no overspill.
A third nurse came to change that catheter but this time there was overspill and it is still happening. They ignored what I told them and phoned their boss asking if they should change the catheter, the answer was no, because it could be the infection? But what they did not know was that two people had inserted catheters without overspill and I still had the water infection. My main point is: Had the hospital been open with these nurses, these nurses could have been as wise as the doctor in the hospital that had already seen the x-ray they took showing where that cut is. You can't blame something that is not at fault when you don't know the whole story, it is not the infection, it is the catheter that has gone in the wrong channel.
PS I am wearing incontinent pads that I had to purchase off the internet as none has been given to me by my doctor, hospital or nurse?
