apologies for not replying sooner, as i didn't log in again after the GMEB thread.
to put you in the picture,
i received a call the day before my tuesday appointment confirming patient transport, and that 4 paramedics would be in attendance, so far so good.
then i had a call tuesday morning from patient transport, asking me if i could make it down the stairs, no i replied. this was near 9am, and my appointment was for 9.45am so i was worried they wouldn't turn up or be late. Which is what happened, they showed up too late for my appointment, at around 10am.
I was fuming to say the least and told them they were too late as i had missed the appointment.
So i had to do a phone call consult with the orthopedic registrar, who suggested various options, but still wants to see me face to face. So it looks like i will have to wait again for another appointment to see them.
