A man turned away by his doctor’s surgery and told there was nothing wrong with him was found dead three days later. The practice also sent him a letter – which arrived after his death – threatening to remove him from their patient list.It reiterated the belief that “there was no reason for your attendance” at the surgery on December 23.But on Boxing Day, Raymond Scougall’s brother Gary found him dead on his bedroom floor.
Nine years ago, Raymond, 40, and Gary, 41, were both stabbed in a confrontation with a man who was later jailed for 11 years for the assault.
While Gary’s operation was a success, Raymond’s injury was so severe he required five operations over the years to repair a serious hernia in his stomach.
But after the last operation the hospital told him there was no more they could do for him. Gary claimed: “By the time he died, Raymond’s hernia was the size of a baby’s head coming out his stomach.“He continued to ask for help from his GP and for pain relief, but neither was given to him.”A post-mortem held two days ago concluded Raymond’s death was related to his hernia.His mum, Christina, said: “The post-mortem said it was caused by a loss of blood after his hernia burst through his stomach wall.”Results of blood tests taken during the post-mortem will not be available for three months but the family have been given permission for Raymond’s funeral to go ahead next week.Gary added: “My mum took him to his NHS appointments when he needed to go to the hospital and for the surgery but they never gave him much help."They said his stomach wall couldn’t hold his intestines any more.
