Terrible medical care for disabled patient suffering immensely

As a double leg amputee, I've been struggling with a poorly fitted catheter for the past 18 months, causing severe urine burns across my stumps. I've repeatedly raised this issue with doctors and shared photographic evidence. During a recent appointment, a female doctor promised to have the wound viability team assess my condition, but I've heard nothing since. My urine burns have deteriorated dramatically, now bleeding and developing into a bed sore by February 1st, 2025. I became seriously ill with an infection and contacted 111 on Tuesday, as direct surgery contact is no longer possible. They claimed they would notify West End about my situation on Wednesday, but never followed through. Additionally, a urology appointment on December 10th recommended changing my catheter. Both I and the doctors received this recommendation on January 7th, yet no action has been taken. This delay has directly contributed to my current skin condition, as the West End doctors have failed to approve the new catheter. I can only give 1 star, though I'd prefer zero. I absolutely cannot recommend West End Surgery to anyone. While it's my only option due to accommodating my oversized wheelchair, I hope by sharing my experience, others with more mobility can choose a better medical practice with more attentive, full-time doctors.
