Getting really pee'd off with the inept NHS appointment system that ignores what you tell them! Had a letter for the "camera invasion" I had to cancel, yet again they're trying to send me to Haddington, how many  times do I have to tell them Haddington isn't suitable, its a major PITA to get to. Twice I've told them Haddington is no use so they're trying to send me there a third time, do they not put notes on patient records 
I'm not phoning today, I'll phone when I've calmed down a bit. |
Good morning all, good morning Steve,
Don’t you get to choose where you would like to be treated, is that how it works?
In December when I was being seen in the vascular department at the hospital in Bristol, the specialist said he will see me again next month.
When I rang in March and April about the appointment, they said “you are in the system and will receive a letter when we know the date”. Still no letter.
I am not feeling confident it will come through in time, so next Thursday I am having a private appointment to see a vascular surgeon in Nairobi.
Despite the pressures on the NHS, it is free so that is something to be grateful for. Tomorrow I am seeing the skin cancer doctor to have 7 lesions removed from my face and head. That will be £100 for the consult and treatment, okay it’s money but it’s peace of mind.
Hopefully your camera appointment comes through and it will suit your needs.
Keep us updated.
