Torron Eeles fell down some stairs and broke the humerus in his left arm. He says he was scheduled for two operations which were delayed because of a lack of beds and operating time. Two more were delayed because of his blood pressure and his smoking.
Regardless of the reasons, it’s been ten months and his arm looks like this.
Yeah. That’s what I thought too.
And they even put a cast on it:
Torron fractured his arm on December 3, 2008, and rushed straight to casualty where doctors put his arm in plaster.
The first two ops were cancelled due to a lack of beds and operating time, claimed Torron.
Then two more were delayed because of Torron’s high blood pressure and concerns over his smoking.
Nick Carver, the chief executive of the East and North Herts NHS Trust, insisted computer records showed the trust had only cancelled two operations – one in February and a second in May.
He said proceeding with the operations could have put Torron’s life at risk.
Maybe I’m a bit out of touch, but if you break your arm in December, do you usually wait until February to operate? Secretary of State Clinton didn’t wait that long, and her fracture was no where near as bad as this guy’s arm.
The guy can’t even get disability because the doctors say he can still “turn on a tap.”
Hat Tip to Don Surber for the picture.
