Questions about feeding tube!
So I took my gf for a feeding tube insertion today.
I was under the impression that we would be taught how to use it and given the supplies at the hospital.
When we got there we were told that the dietitian would visit us at home to teach us how to use it and give us the feed.
I refused because I’ve read about possible complications and I was told I’d be given training on how to manage these things.
So we refused to get it done before we had received the training. All the NHS guidelines have said that we shouldn’t be sent home without receiving training and supplies.
Is this normal? Should we have stayed?
Thank you!
