A MAN who was left in agony after his testicle flipped the wrong way plans to take legal action against aAntonio De Michele claims he faced a 14-hour wait for a scan at University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie before being sent home with antibiotics and painkillers.
“I knew it wasn’t an infection because this had happened previously, although the pain was never this intense. I could usually move it back into place but this time, the testicle turned the wrong way and I knew that I needed urgent help. Just two hours after landing, he was on an operating table being treated for testicle torsion – an emergency condition that occurs when the spermatic cord - which provides blood flow to the testicle - unexpectedly rotates, cutting off the blood supply and resulting in overwhelming pain and inflammation.
“My parents, who live in Naples, were appalled that I had to travel back to Italy last month for treatment. Thankfully the surgeon manged to repair the problem and secure my testicles so that this won’t happen again.”Antonio claims that the hold-up in treating his condition has resulted in a long-term impact to his wellbeing.
He added: “The way I was treated is appalling. I should never have been put in a position where I had to travel abroad for an operation that, in my opinion, should have been carried out on the NHS.
