Lovely Morning Chit-Chat-Thread - April 2024

We don't need this Ellie, I nave been sent to the wrong hospital, and not long ago i had 3 appointments to see the same consultant at 3 different times at 2 hospitals on the same day, how can this happen, Ellie for what it's worth i would go with Friday 3rd as Monday is a bank holiday.

Don't pull your hair out Ellie, have you looked on your NHS app, hospital appointment are on there 

This is not my normal hospital, its the one in London to get results of the scan i am getting on this Friday.

I know they will say come 24th may or 31st, cannot do 31st, got letter Saturday booked to get eyes done. have waited, a year for that.

24th i have no family members here all on holiday, do i go for results on my own, not sure.

Fredy the what, i did not even notice the 3rd was bank holiday,, n or did appointments department or the spiciest nurse,

That's a long way to go by yourself especially when your thinking of the worst outcome, I must admit I prefer spouse to be with me, two heads are better than 1.

I hope you get good news.

Life is hard at time's hard enough, with out all these extra stress related problems. Onwards and Upwards, 

Don't I know, and it seems to get worse every year.

Hi Ellie, I am so sorry you have been given the runaround by these incompetent appointments people!

I wonder have you got the Consultant's secretary's name? If so I would call her and let her know how stressed you feel with all this going on.

Last time when they phoned to say they had a slot to get your eyes done, you had to decline because of your workmen and the fact they didn't give you much notice! This time if it was me, I'd get the op and put other things on hold.

I don't think it is a good idea to go alone for results.i would be asking them to reshedule it as there is no way you could travel all that way alone. You have waited all this time, another week or so won't change anything but at least you would be able to read a book while you are waiting.

Things don't seem to be improving either. My young sister broke her wrist the other week and had to wait six days for an appointment to get it plastered. Then when she went, they xr-ayed it again and said "sorry this is going to hurt as it has started to heal in the wrong position. You should have come sooner!" She put in a Formal Complaint!  Take care

Hi Annette that's shocking what your sister went through, but sadly not unusual, I hope the complaint will do some good and she makes a full recovery. hope you and Vince are enjoying your hols and the weather is kind,

Ho my goodness, spouse broke her wrist year's ago, took her to A+E the bandage her up and told her to come in next day, but 6 day's unbelievable, your poor sister.

I hope se is successful in her complaint.
