The incident happened around 3 months or so into the hospital stay. I had just finished a set of nights, went to visit and on seeing my better half, knew summat was wrong instantly. Her face was like a balloon. An abscess in her mouth had formed. This went completely un-noticed by the nursing staff. No medication had been given, there was no concern shown whatever. When I pointed out something was seriously amiss, the apathy was still there. I was talked down to infact, at least that is how I felt.

I had to flipping argue in an office with someone…don’t even recall their title, heck, I was so angry….I really almost did pop the bloke in the mouth.
Medication was given in the end by way of anti-biotics, but had to wait 6 days to arrange an appointment with the hospital dentist.

The same group of staff had been seeing the lass on a daily basis for at least 3 months, you would think they would have noticed the dramatic change in facial features.
