Stitches weren't properly removed after surgery

The claim of being a safe practice does not align with my experience. Following a surgical procedure on my arm, I attended an appointment ten days later for stitch removal. However, not all stitches were removed during this visit. Despite contacting the practice during business hours, I was directed to attend an alternative walk-in centre. Upon review, I have since discovered that additional stitches remain in place, and my arm is displaying signs of infection. I have subsequently needed to seek care at an out-of-hours facility. When I contacted the practice again, I was informed they were unable to accommodate an appointment. I highlighted that the practice had performed the initial treatment and that the incomplete removal may have contributed to the current situation. Even the out-of-hours service acknowledged that the practice should have been able to see me. I intend to lodge a formal complaint regarding this matter.
