Left home at 10.40 am drove 70 miles for a flexi cystoscopy. With 1.15 pm appointment , gowned up and sample done . At 3.20 I was asked why I wasn’t dressed . I said I was waiting for a procedure. Told that it was cancelled due to infection and handed a prescription for antibiotics. I asked why I hadn’t been told but got no response. The discharge letter had been signed off at 2.04. Took the prescription to the chemist on site who said it wasn’t correctly filled out. I took it back to the ward for correction . Although this was done there was no offer of apology or regret. I paid the £4.40 parking fee and drove the 70 miles back home after picking up the prescription. Arrived home at 6.30. I am annoyed and frustrated at the attitude and approach of the staff . I can accept the cancellation because. of the infection but I cannot understand why I wasn’t informed in good time and with an element of regret.
Hi WallyB. It's great when you get short notice appointments. Less time to think about things, and nearer to home as well. Hope it all goes well. Best wishes.
