Falling on street and breaking my left wrist I had urgent distal radius surgery with metal plate and 9 screws in August 2019 at Sydney Hospital. Now my wrist is still painful, swollen, my fingers numbed, it is irritating, very uncomfortable. I need urgent surgery to remove the metal plate + the screws and I can’t find understanding for that. Actually, this surgery is a deliberate attempt for torture? Please, help me to have the removal surgery performed urgently in good conditions at a safe hospital.
So far it is not sorted out, that is despairing (October 2020).

not sure if anyone cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother recently :)
