Having read our local Newspaper:
I have to say I find it absolutely reprehensible and disgusting that we could even begin to comprehend a "Caithness" without surgeons being able to save a life, (albeit "during the night which we try to avoid") in any and every situation that this county should, God forbid, and even more so be it an emergency!!!!
My brother, many years ago, was brought into hospital (Wick, Bignold) where he was basically put to a bed by the ( obviously unconcerned ) nurses, although he was literally screaming in agony.
Thank God that the surgeon happened to be doing his rounds a couple of hours later . . . the surgeon's very words were, "An emergency "appendectomy" NOW !!" . . .
After his emergency operation my brother was then put on a drip, due to blood poisoning, through the fact that his appendix had ruptured !!!
God forbid that this scenario should "play-out" again through the lack of surgeons !!!!
The SURGEON'S decision, at that time, saved my brother's life.. . . . . . .
