Hiya to u all (hope ur all doing well)

Where do i start.......... sitting here having a few tears of fustration more than anything really, as you all no having my op tomorrow at 12.........Well that not happening now got a phone call at 4pm today to tell me that the kit still hadnt arrived so the operation would not be going ahead tomorrow, would have took that excuse but this is the 3rd time its been cancelled and i rang and spoke to consultants secretary on monday who reasured me that everything was there that they needed to do the surgery, so yet again ive took the hospital at there word, new it was much to believe, sick of being messed about, im totally fed up and at this point ive gave up HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, Jo-Ann, that's awful :( To have an operation cancelled once is bad enough, but three times is inexcusable, especially after being told that everything was ready on Monday. No wonder you are shedding tears of frustration. I do hope that you will get your operation soon.

    Did they give you any explanation for the cancellation? I wonder whether it is because of the extra numbers of people needing emergency operations because of accidents in the bad weather.

    Hi Jo-Ann
    I am so sorry to hear this, it seems to be happening more and more, its bad enough having to have an op without all this.
    I would ring then up again, and really get across to them how this is affecting you, if nothing comes of it, you might feel a bit better.
    Good Luck and let us know how you get on.
    Love

    They said it was because the kit that they needed to transport the cartledge cells hand come from belgium, but checked with them on monday and they said everything had arrived and op was going ahead asked if it had anything to do with weather or emergancies & i just got a flat no reply, just wait and see what happens now

    Have you tried the Patient Liaison Service (PALS) at the hospital?

    They will generate a report that will be passed to the hospital admin who will look into it.

    Get in touch with your local councillor and MP too.

    Im going to give hospital a ring in next few days just to see where i am really, if dont get anywhere il be straight on the phone to PALS
