I've asked admin to delete my above post as I realise it's completely inappropriate to comment on my current surgeon. Things have been very difficult but it's not been any of her fault.
I was injured during a non sedated, non pain managed, zero anaesthetic hysteroscopy at the UCLH last July 2022.
The surgeon was inexperienced had no idea what she was doing - this was very clear on many many grounds. Also the type of surgery (non sedated hysteroscopy) was not appropriate for the task at hand - to remove a very large polyp.
During the procedure it became clear the surgeon didn't know what she was doing and had also lost control of the equipment and what she was doing - kept abrasively asking the saline tech for more saline as she 'couldn't see' and then during all the rummage around I could feel inside me I felt the most horrific searing stabbing and tugging pain that then became 10 / 10 pain as I felt myself being stabbed as if by a red hot poker up and into my left flank and below my ribs. I went into shock and couldn't breathe, my uterus started involuntarily contracting, the chaperone called the whole thing off. The polyp was not removed. I believe she was cutting into and trying to 'pull' on a part of my uterine wall by mistake.
I was immediately left with an horrific numb pain running around my left flank, pouring with vaginal bleeding, huge amount of blood in my urine and could no longer feel any nerve sensation in my urethra or when needing to urinate so I was losing control of my bladder all the time. I also acquired an upper left side ureter / kidney infection 'klebsiella' that I've never had before and is apparently known for being hospital acquired from instruments.
I was refused assistance by UCLH A&E and Urgent Care Gynae as they were informed by the clinician in question that the procedure was 'successful' and went 'smoothly' with no issue.
I am clearly aware that my uterus was punctured and my left ureter hit - I know this as I felt it and it was plainly obvious afterwards. I now have repeat internal infections and scarring and adhesions in the exact same area that were not there when I was fully scanned and checked for any endometriosis only days before the procedure. My left ovary, left ureter, left colon, and upper left outside of my uterus are now all connected together with scar tissue.
I had to change hospitals which took time as I had no support from my GP due to the lies from this clinician. Scans at the second hospital proven what I'd said and I had an urgent general anaesthetic procedure, 1 hr 45 mins, to remove the polyp and do 'something' that the surgeon who did it refuses point blank to comment on.
I've been bleeding every day for 17 months now and am in chronic pain barely able to walk and cannot do steps without a struggle. I've lost my health and fitness and piled on weight as I keep eating healthily (not too much) but because I can barely move. The NHS have tried to pass the severity of this situation off as Stage 4/5 Endometriosis in the area where I felt stabbed - I strangely have no endo anywhere else. However, when I pointed out that I will be waiting to see the histology and cell definitions of this tissue, it was admitted to me that they don't think it's endometriosis at all.
I'm waiting on a huge surgery now, was supposed to be last Weds, should happen next weds.
I have representation to support me with taking action on this issue.
