I HAD a lump removed from my breast but was left with a wound. Can I sue the surgeon?

YES, if you have proof he was negligent. You have three years from the date of the op to sue but be aware such cases are complex, costly and often fail. Also consider the NHS complaints procedure and lodge your case with the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman.
