[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2067463, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=508125]@Garry71[/USER], What a schmozzle, not as health professional opnion or advice: So basically it sounds like your partner is in stand-by mode with half-baked treatment. Can his GP be contacted, even if by explaining to the nurse there, that he is in pain and in need of anti-coagulant injection? And the other question is who is responsibke for monitoring the well being, circulation, nerve function and healing-wise of his fracture? Is the GP, and is he or she willing and able to do so? And was your partner and you given any instructions about what to look out for in regrads to these potential problems? Being in pain and relatively immobile might also cause his blood sugars to rise, hypos less likely but he may need to adjust his diet and insulin to compensate for this? And if his diabetes nurse or doctor can be contacted that may help with his diabetes control and maybe send a small rocket up the surgical mnagement bureaucracy of the hospital in question? I hope the above may help to at least protect your partner's health and well-being and get thevrequired treatment moving. Best Wishes and hopefully others on site with better knowledge of the health system there can give you more information to assist you bith. [/QUOTE]
