Do you mean unhappy with the treatment she is receiving from GP or surgeon?
Why don't you talk to the nurses on the ward when she is admitted/ or if your hospitla has it talk to the PALS peopl (patient advice liaison) they could advise you how to proceed.
She may need a second opinion, more importantly how does she feel about the level of care she is receiving? Maybe the pair of you just need an update of whats going on, remember they're medical people not miracle workers and there's always somethings that are more difficult to treat or even impossible.
To all of the people who have posted insensitive or judgmental answers to this question - i was always brought up that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything!

well isnt that caring of you to be sitting on the internet when she has an ambulance on the way and is malnourished. She didnt become malnourished over night that takes months even years did you eat all her food?

if this is soo urgent why wait until now to call ambulance.. why didnt you take her to hospital yourself earlier today... also why if she is malnourished, did you not feed her?
You cant be that bothered if you are waiting for ambulance but can stay on here asking silly questions...

If you have an urgent need, don't waste time here.
It sounds like she has a long road to recovery.
Talk over your concerns with her doctors.
