Annoyed

[mallyh]

went to hospital today for an operation told to be there at 7oclock left home at 6 because of traffic and got there at 6.30ish wasn't' seen until 7.45 and told they knew nothing about me ,nurse went off to investigate and then said surgeon has me 3rd on his list , they couldn't find results of bloods I had taken yesterday .surgeon came to see me and explained op then said we are trying to find you a bed .then at 9 I had swabs taken then told to go home as no beds and await a phone call possibly next Tuesday .this is suppose to be a super hospital .I don't think so

I don't blame you for being annoyed, sounds like a failure of communication compounded by a bed shortage.

Awful when you have psyched yourself up ready for something, hope it eventually goes smoothly.

Mickey Mouse, isn't it.

Oh Mally what a pain for you. That is so annoying!

I feel for you mallyh. There's results of an MRI of my head floating around somewhere which nobody can pin down :(
Good luck, I hope it goes smoothly next week ;)

Let's hope there are no problems next time mally.

[mallyh]

I will chain myself to something if they drop me again won't be a bed though as they haven't any lol

[viv41]

Which hospital is it mally ? I know of a lady who was scheduled for three knee ops before she finally had it done. She used to get so frustrated !

[mallyh]

Portsmouth QA

[viv41]

Other end of the country to me. Seems they are all the same !

[mallyh]

they closed a lot of hospitals when they built this place no one listened to the people who wanted smaller hospitals left open .

mallyh...PORTSMOUTH? My mate was a Consultant at that hospital and he went on holiday to Turkey and was murdered by militant tribesmen, so when i saw the name Portsmouth, it brought back memories.

Mallyh - please psyche yourself for maybe more delayed ops. Friend's uncle was knocked back for operation 3 times. She too was knocked back 2 times - awful when you have been nervous all night and the following morning due to utter chaos operation doesn't go through. Just warning you.

QA has a lot of memories for me too - i did my nurse training there (and partly in st mary's and st james's) Plus have been a patient there many times

Thats really bad luck mally, i hope that you dont have to wait too long. I had a perforated appendix a few years ago and was rushed to QA, and spent the next four hours listening to several doctors debating whether or not to operate on me then, or wait until the morning. Fortunately they operated quickly, and probably saved my life. I also attend three clinics there on a regular basis and find that I'm usually more quickly than before.
