3 weeks after my heart attack get an appointment for the CABG (bypass). Very good service me thinks. Last week had the pre-op at which I pass the comment this had already been done the week before. 'Oh yes... so it has, and it shows you have MSSA'. I ask should anything be done about it and the reply is 'we'll do it again because it might have gone away' - what?! Went in yesterday for the operation today. 10am Sister comes in to my room on the ward. 'this shows you have mssa was anything done about it?'. 'Nope'. Guess what... now at home with a cancelled operation. Why does the NHS do this sort of thing all the darn time? The cure, by the way, is cream three times a day and after 5 days it's gone for good i.e. if it had been acted on either last week or when first detected 2 weeks ago then it would be fixed.
