I
was
unlucky
enough
to
have
surgery
at
RHW
with
Dr
King
Man
Wan
(Gynaecological
Oncologist)
(Gynaecology
Oncology
-
Macquarie
Ward)
after
another
woman
cancelled
her
surgery
with
Dr
Wan.
My
biggest
regret
is
agreeing
to
treatment
with
Dr
Wan
including
surgery.
My
pre
and
post
operative
RHW
paper
work
generated
by
Dr
Wan
was
contaminated
with
an
incorrect
and
in
some
aspects
a
highly
embarrassing
history.
This
occurred
because
Dr
Wan
failed
to
take
a
history
from
me
at
the
first
appointment
I
had
with
him.
Dr
Wan
did
not
come
and
speak
to
me
before
he
performed
major
abdominal
surgery
at
RHW
nor
did
he
seek
my
consent
for
UNSW
students
to
observe.
A
number
of
UNSW
students
observed
my
surgery
without
my
consent
whilst
I
was
under
a
general
anaesthetic
including
a
hysteroscopy.
I
was
discharged
from
RHW
by
Dr
Wan
following
my
surgery
with
a
document
entitled
‘draft
discharge’
that
had
been
prepared
three
days
earlier,
wasn’t
up
to
date
and
with
the
date
of
discharge
recorded
as
[XX]
I
was
also
discharged
by
Dr
Wan
whilst
I
was
suffering
with
ileus.
I
had
been
complaining
about
the
ileus
and
abdominal
pain
in
the
days
before
Dr
Wan
discharged
me
with
my
complaints
all
documented
within
my
medical
notes
for
the
admission
but
I
was
totally
ignored
by
Dr
Wan.
The
abdominal
pain
on
the
first
night
at
home
after
discharge
was
next
level
and
I
actually
contemplated
cutting
myself
back
open
to
relieve
the
pain.
Dr
Wan
put
me
into
an
MDT
(multidisciplinary
team)
meeting
at
RHW
and
his
paperwork
(which
also
continued
to
contain
an
incorrect
and
embarrassing
history
-
even
though
I
had
tried
to
correct
things
with
him
when
I
first
became
aware
of
the
problem)
indicated
there
was
no
input
or
discussion
at
the
MDT
from
any
other
specialist
other
than
himself.
The
RHW
MDT
with
Dr
Wan
did
not
provide
me
with
any
personalised
or
individual
care
plan.
Dr
Wan
didn’t
discuss
the
outcome
of
the
RHW
MDT
with
me.
I
came
across
Dr
Wan’s
MDT
paperwork
when
I
went
to
my
GP
for
something
unrelated.
I
found
this
all
so
bizarre
and
so
I
organised
another
MDT
at
another
cancer
centre
and
from
a
gynaecological
oncology
team
and
it
was
so
so
much
better
than
with
Dr
Wan
at
RHW.
I
had
options
(especially
important
as
a
young
women
diagnosed
with
cancer),
it
was
patient
focussed
and
comprehensive
with
medical
oncology
input
including
consideration
of
quality
of
life,
and
other
testing,
trials
and
studies.
Unlike
with
Dr
Wan
that
cancer
centre
team
took
the
time
to
discuss
the
MDT
discussion
and
outcome
with
me.
With
Dr
Wan
there
didn’t
seem
to
be
any
personalised
approach
to
treatment
or
any
discussion
about
how
I
felt,
or
what
I
wanted,
and
I
felt
like
I
was
part
of
a
flow
diagram.
It
was
always
all
rushed.
I
found
Dr
Wan
did
not
take
the
time
to
listen
to
me.
I
felt
I
needed
to
advocate
for
myself.
His
approach
caused
me
and
my
family
so
much
anxiety.
On
one
occasion
he
wrote
to
my
GP
misinterpreting
the
pathology
reports
and
telling
the
GP
that
cancer
had
spread
to
other
areas
when
it
hadn’t.
Based
on
my
experience
my
strong
advice
to
you
would
be
to
avoid
Dr
Wan.
I
felt
very
unsafe
in
his
care
the
whole
time.Three
of
Dr
Wan’s
doctor
colleagues
at
RHW
have
on
separate
occasions
apologised
to
me
for
my
experience
with
Dr
Wan.
I
complained
about
my
care
at
RHW
with
Dr
Wan
as
set
out
above,
to
Victoria
Walton,
Manager,
Clinical
Practice
and
Improvement
SESLHD,
I
sent
Victoria
a
detailed
chronology
with
my
concerns,
in
turn
she
responded
with
a
one
page
letter
apparently
approved
by
the
RHW
Manager,
Donna
Garland
which
referred
to
‘emails’
and
did
not
identify
or
address
any
of
my
concerns.
There
was
zero
accountability
or
interest
in
improving
care
generally
or
outcomes
for
women
with
gynaecological
cancer.
