Southend Hospital DUMP

My Step Dad of 45 years went in a year ago for a new kneecap ( he was 2 months off his 89th birthday ). Glad he had it, but was surprised they did it because of his age.
Fast forward a year, he's never been right since, the knee & lower leg are permanently swollen & red raw. 4 different Dr's tried various medication, none worked!.
Last Fri he came out after being in Southend Hosp for 10 days for a combination of his knee problems & COPD which he also has. One old guy opposite him with Dementia, got up one night & pee-ed in the Laundry Bin!. No staff about to see it happen!.
Still believe he wouldn't have suffered so much discomfort if he hadn't had it done.

Shame for your step dad. I am a Physio and see lots of post op patients. For every 100 good outcomes you are always going to get 1-2 bad outcomes for even the most simple ops unfortunately.
