A HUNTER man who had his surgery for a smashed elbow "postponed" every day for almost a week at the new Maitland Hospital is calling for change after being left "gobsmacked" by the staff shortages and service delays.
Mark Howe, a former radiographer who now runs a safety consultancy business, was to have "nil by mouth" ahead of surgery for a badly broken elbow that was "bent back the wrong way".
