I wrote yesterday that it was a ‘bit unsettling’ to hear that I would be having a different surgeon operating on me.
Today it feels more than unsettling. I don’t know what to think or do. I emailed my MacMillan nurse about it today to get reassurance from her about the new surgeon. She phoned me back and said she didn’t know him at all. She’d looked him up and said he’d qualified about 20 years ago and been working at UCHL for 5 years. That’s the only things I’d found out about him too.
There is no plan for me to meet with him….. given I’d had 2 consultations with the other surgeon (one in person, one telephone) and he is part of the MDT, which this new one clearly isn’t…and so hasn’t been part of the discussions and decision making about me.
