Complications

My wife had a stoma but at RBH they thought it was trapped wind. When they eventually found out about the stoma she had to have an emergency operation. Also they put a tube down her throat for a few weeks and didn't remove it which meant that her mouth can only open a small amount now. I have to use a screw to try to widen it still. She was moved to different wards continuously and to different hospitals at Pendle and somewhere in Colne. They kept her alive but there were numerous complications and problems we are still facing today due to mistakes made by the hospital.
