Oral and maxilo FACE THEFT

This is another review of The oral and maxilo facial surgery department of Torbay hospital I have the impression this department is just as bad everywhere in this country but that doesn t make it ok to steal people s faces away does it That is what they do they steamroll over every thing to do with your face with only one thing in mind - teeth They re happy to take teeth for the smallest of reasons and they re happy to destroy your ability to smile or the straightness of your chin etc what ever it is they will destroy it with zero thought or care JUST to align teeth in incorrect ways Thet call this occlusion Just put the bones back together STRAIGHT and properly you bunch of maniacs and stop talking all your smart sounding bs FRYER FORDYCE YOU OWE ME MY FACE BACK

A collective of abusers

A collective of abusers Liz Davenport and her staff should be prosecuted for assault discrimination human rights abuses attempted murder violations of the care act misfeasence and much more Plain evil abusers that have repeateldy placed me at risk along with other services I ve been contacted by a whistleblower and have been given some interesting if sickening infomation about the wilful abuse against me Liz Davenport has full knowledge Their PALS service is also criminal and I also received false allegations Allegations I can refute because I was wearing a bodycam No response Just like Plymouth MIND who also made false allegations that I can refute No response I asked Lynn Neville for her proof She can t because it doesn t exist I however do have proof to refute her claims I ve been illegally eviucted twice in a row and Dawn Stewart of this criminal and abusive service also lied in her assessment and refused to address the serious issues I m facing and the serious risk I am at She also colluded with Edd Williams of Torbay Council who committed human rights abuses assault discrimination etc during one illegal eviction that was not prevented by anyone Disgsuting evil abusive criminal detritus and multitudinous other words to describe this cesspool of a service in a cesspool of a town in a cesspool of a country

The geriatric department is so

The geriatric department is so disorganised and full of bullies They treat doctors of ethnic minority groups with disgrace and discrimination

3 failed operations

I was waiting to be seen for 2 years for an operation and low and behold I get a date at the start of this year 202312 01 2023 I had an operation in the day surgery unit which was ment to tie up my vains to stop blood flow to my rear end all apparent well until I needed a second operation on my rear end again as the surgery had left an absence in my bottomSo on 30 01 2023 I was moved to SRU and I had the rudest nurse possible when I asked how long it would be when I would been going under her was reply was how long is a bit of rope and I told her I was in great pain she said not my problem eventually I did go down to theatre and have the absence removed as well as a few lumps but wasn t sent hope with any pain relief then on 05 02 2023 I was back in surgery again but this time they just opened me up to cause more pain and some how burnt the tissue around the ring of my bottom the service I received have been terrible and if I m asked to under go another surgery in Torbay hospital I will refuse I have tried to put in a claim for negligence but no luck as the NHS are protected weather they do their job or not they only seem to care about money and they get away with damaging peoples lives I now whish I had never had the operation as its made my life very difficult I can t go tolit with my rear end burning I ve still got puss leaking from my rear end over 2 months later I m still in pain my life is forever changed and I will never trust the NHS or Torbay hospital again they ain t surgeons they more like butchers

Don t work in Torbay Hospital

I worked in Geriatric department and helped them during a very difficult time during the first and second waves of the pandemic Initially they were nice to me as they needed me but later I found them to be antagonistic and hostile towards locum doctors especially those of ethnic minorities I felt sorry for helping them during the difficult time and would not come back to work there again I would discourage any temporary doctor especially from ethnic background to work there Many other locums of ethnic background told me similar stories but they were too scared to write reviews or complain

I had specialist nhs dental care for specialist dentistry

I had specialist nhs dental care for over 10 years because of a gagging reflex about 12 months ago I was recommended to have a crown and I signed the treatment papers a medical mistake was made basically when I was a sleep they cemented my crown in and then took a gel mould took an impression and pulled the crown out and then panic set in and they thought I had swallowed it or inhaled it into my lungs because my crown was missing I went home and we received a call to say it was found in the mould I expected the mistake to be rectified but they refused to do it again and my treatment was stopped until I saw a restorative specialist dentist I saw the dentist who recommended my crown be put back in they refused and I was discharged out of nhs dentistry I reported the matter to the ombudsman and Torbay and South Devon Trust foundation told the ombudsman I was now under the care of Somerset nhs trust foundation which when I checked is completely untrue disgraceful service who ignored a dentist s report and wouldn t tell me what they wanted from the second report from the restorative dentist which breaches data protection act withholding information they wanted me to be a cat 2 patient basically discharged to a mainstream dentist which I couldn t cope with and there isn t any dentist s anyway and when I complained I had sealed my fate and they knew my teeth needed restorative work from day one but they used that as an excuse to kick me out it s being an absolute nightmare and they claim they can t treat me funny I paid 1 400 pounds for fillings and some filler round the tooth they refused to put the crown back on and sedation disgusted appalling treatment after paying in the system all my life

Torbay hospital is terrible waiting times have probably cost lives

so waiting time on ambulances are now anything up to 4h or more every hospital and their mothers mother is declaring code black across devon but Tobay Hospital had around 6 or 7 people waiting in A E not counting relatives I had an AWFUL experience on the 30th of October 2024 I m a difficult person to get to go see a GP for basic things it takes a lot to make me reach out for help as I live in chronic pain on the everyday This day I would have chest pains at first I tried to ignore it and carry on like often do with my knee pain only for this pain to start to spread across my chest and numb my left arm and make it VERY hard and PAINFUL to breath so I called for help first 111 who then sent met to 999 only to be told of the diabolical wait times for an ambulance so I set about following the medical advice as I had NO OTHER WAY of getting into the hospital I m in rural devon with NO transport of my own or access to public transport it would be 6hours before an ambulance would arrive to me then when they got me into Torbay hospital the nightmare continued by the time I d arrived most of my symptoms had abaited the chest pain had started to ease off and the feeling had returned to my arm but there was still a stabbing pain under my ribs and the paramedics did not like that i d been left so long with out someone even a first responder being sent out to check on me while I waited as with my symptoms I should have been an urgent case the paramedics wanted me to get a chest x-ray to make sure I wasn t having a or had pulmonary embolism PE my heart rate was a little unstable when they put the ECG on me so advised me to go with them I did hoping to find out what was going on instead I get to the torbay hospital where the paramedics tried to do hand over I was booked into A E where the receptionist was highly antagonistic to the paramedic trying to tell her my symptoms to keep my stress levels down I had to step in to de-escalate the situation which could have been avoided if the receptionist just listen to the paramedic who I was happy to talk for me at the time because I was mentally trying to manage my pain after handover I was left in the A E waiting room for hours 3 hours before they took bloods there was only about 6 or 7 people in there waiting all came in by ambulance and triage seemed to be operating as slowly as they could because hardly anyone left that waiting room or was seen while i was still waiting in there i was considering painkillers when i arrived but after sitting down for a bit I decided to bare with my pain so i could see what it was doing instead by the time i d gotten to see a Doctor it had been 4h waiting in full we chatted about how i had to wait for blood work and family history and the pain i was having earlier in the day she sent me for another ECG which was now stable and then i sat in the room next to the children s ward entrance from A E where an autistic child clearly having a meltdown from his anxity managed to escape the ward by 12am the dr i d spoken to for about 5mins came to tell me most of my blood work was clear but i still needed to wait for one last one and she was ending her shift the next dr wouldn t show up until near 1 30am just to tell me the last one was clear and i can go home STILL no chest x-ray for the suspected pulmonary embolism my heart wasn t damaged and she didn t think they needed one 2am I m asked to leave still with no answers for why it felt like i was having a heart attack or pulmonary embolism and blood tests don t show up pulmonary embolism only scans can so at 2am I m asked to go back to the waiting room and to call a taxi home yeah with a 50 call-out fee to get to my location at 2am plus the it s anywhere from 45 - 80 at normal daytime rates double that at night no way i was gonna be able to afford that so i had to call my terminally ill father-in-law to come pick me up at 2am with no other way back home and as if all that wasn t bad enough the place hospital sadly looks like it hasn t seen a cleaner in monthsall in all I m now petrified of needing help again from Torbay Hospital it s utterly dismal and the sheer level of negligence going on has got to be costing people their lives and i still don t know what caused my symptoms and they still haven t sent my details over to my GP so they can start follow up

Contacted the Crisis Mental Health team

Contacted the Crisis Mental Health team 48 hours ago My GP said they would send a home visit team Instead 12 police officers had made a total of 3 separate visits trying to hammer my door and further stress me Not a single phone call from the crisis team except 1 message saying to call 111 They never left their number on the message My GP told me to use the Moorings but they fail to reply to any ansphone calls they never answer their phone You really are better off not calling for help

TRUELY DREADFUL

So sorry for nursing staff but my experience today in getting through to the department I wanted to check on my has been nothing short of appalling It would seem no it is no nurses are at any one point at their station to answer enquiries A simple question of how she is doing having been admitted 28 hours earlier to A E is heart breaking I am disabled so rely on the internet My experience with Torbay hospital has nothing short of desperation and infinite disappointment MUST AND CAN DO BETTER
