Two weeks after his discharge he was brought into hospital by
a friend with poor oral intake, worsening odynophagia, and feeling
generally unwell. Patient stated that he did not tolerate diet and
fluids well as his mouth was too sore and did not follow-up with his
GP after discharge for ongoing care. He said that he thought that
only the surgeon can review him as he underwent surgery, so he
waited for the appointment with the surgeon and did not present to
the GP or emergency department at the hospital.
