Dr C complained about the care he received at Withybush Hospital for tenosynovitis/possible compartment syndrome in his hand on 20 August 2019 and subsequently.
The Ombudsman found that there was no evidence Dr C suffered from compartment syndrome and that he was appropriately treated, with an appropriate degree of urgency, for tenosynovitis. He did not uphold the complaint.
