Summary
Jeannie Robertson describes the aftermath of her operation.
Jeannie was choking when she came round after her operation. Instead of giving her the drink of water she asked for, the nurse gave her a jug of mouthwash to gargle with and spit out. Jeannie's mouth was sore, so she rinsed it with some of the mouthwash but drank the rest. She describes the treatment she received after this. She then began to bring up black vomit, which was the poison from her lungs.
