Review of Barwon Health

What a joke

What a joke
My elderly Mother was addmitted for robotic surgery and told her recovery would be 3 to 4 days.
She had an abdominal pack left behind in her abdomen for 6 days before it was picked up, even though her decline in health was obvious.
Another major operation to remove it, abuse by a nurse in intensive care,
Three weeks in hospital, still emotionally traumatised by this and still recovering.
All that was offered to her was an apology and excuses.
We are South Australian and told the Victorian Health system was far better than South Australia.
I think not.
