Got an appointment tomorrow morning with the urologist about my prostate. If you remember over a year ago it was high prostate (PSA) readings that set all my hospital visits in motion. Hopefully the levels have dropped, I'll find out tomorrow. He says bring a urine specimen...I don't have anything to put it in. They'll just have to give me a wee beaker when I get there.

Trish got a phone call from the hospital today when I was at work. They've had a cancellation and want me to go in on Friday for another Cystogram to see why I can't shake the bladder infections.

Jings! That would be a bit nippy in the winter! On another note I once drew one of those old fashioned taps in Techy drawing. Work of art it was.

Yesterday arrived at the eye clinic 9,30 am, Chantelle says i am you coordinator for your visit wtf
10.10 called in for eyedrops to dialate my yoks,back to waiting room, 11,10 still sat there, i thought if i dont get seen soon it will wear off,then Chantelle shouts out from the front we are running late this morning (Never) 11,30 i went and asked WTF is going on, she says are you still here
Off she trots and comes back with your next your notes are on the desk, high noon and she spots me sliding down the wall with boredom,she scoots off and says come on your in, So yes its Mrs gupta waiting for me and she then says have you had your scan ? Err no only eye drops 2 hours ago,
Then she starts making out like she knows what is going on, she aint a clue of course, so sh pretends to read my notes, i can smell bull shit from 100 yards, she then asks me to place my chin on the machine that i have been on 30 times, she then picks up a lenze and pretends she can see the back of my eyes, Lying bitch, look up look down look left look right, then the other eye, look up so i didnt i looked round the machine and she is staring out of the window going thro the motions,
This no doubt highly paid woman could not give a jot wether i lose my sight or not,
So there you have it, the NHS, the woman that has been taught and paid by us skirting round their cock up, Yes i could have told Chantelle and she may have been brave enough to seek out somebody to complain to, but i just walked out and thought what is the point, nobody would question mrs Gupta because thats how it is,now i could go private and see a consultant but at the end of the day your cant repair eye damage, this is caused by diabetes, all you can do is try to control it and that then that slows down your eyes failing along with everything else,
Chantelle will have been the lowest paid person in the clinic, she was keen and helpfull, but how long before she is worn down and just go's through the motions just to keep her job, What a fecking shambles

Would seem she had got her letter giving her the 08:45 appointment but there was nothing on the hospital system about it so they were not expecting her (there was another woman with same issue also waiting), transpired that when the girl was informed of cockup when she arrived at 08:30 she was told to wait and they'd see if they could fit her in (nothing certain that they would),,, obviously after waiting two hours she was getting a bit wound up about it, that's when she approached the reception to enquire as to what was happening, receptionist just tells her again we'll try and fit you in, girl ain't happy with this and wants to know a time when she'll be seen, receptionists says she can't give her a time, girl ain't happy with this and is demanding to see someone who can tell her what's happening, another member of staff turns up but conversation is just going round in circles with the same being said over and over again,,, by chance the doctor she is meant to be seeing turns up at the reception desk looking for some paperwork, the receptionist explains situation to him (note, so until this point he is unaware there are two people in the waiting room expecting to see him that are not on his list,,, when was the receptionist actually going to do anything about it, Thursday ???), anyway doctor says give her another appointment date,,, girl ain't happy with this, explains she's taken the day off work, arranged for someone to look after her kid for the morning, etc, etc,,, doctor say it would be unfair to expect other patients appointment times to be disrupted to accomidation her,,, girl points out she has an appointment letter exactly the same as the other patients so what's the difference,,, look on the quacks face, he didn't like that one,,, he says to here to wait and that she would be seen, she asks when, he said he don't know, she explains that her baby sitter probably thinks she is on the way home now as appointment letter says allow a hour to a hour and a half for appointment, she pushes the doc for a time saying this morning or am I still going to be here at three o'clock this afternoon,,, he says this morning,,, she was taken about fifteen minutes later... 10/10 to her, if she had not gone up to the reception desk she would have still been sitting there as to me the receptionist was doing feck all about it, probably just hoping someone ain't gonna show then slip her in to that slot...
Oh, my appointment was 30 minutes late, nothing to do with her issue, wasn't seeing that doctor, but wait passed ok due to entertainment...
Adam Mint wrote:Got a letter from the hospital today relating to the pre-op for my forthcoming knee operation, letter reads as follows:-
Dear Mr Minty
At your recent pre-op for the forthcoming operation on your left knee the weekly alcohol intake you stated you consume relates to 32 units, this is above the national guidelines on alcohol intake, it is therefore our policy to inform your GP of this and advise you contact her to discuss the issue.
Yours etc...
My reply to both the hospital and my GP:-
At least I'm sober enough to know it's my "RIGHT KNEE" that's f####d, and I ask that you confirm in writing that on the day of the operation you will be carrying out the surgery on the right one, that's the "RIGHT" one.
Yours etc...
What a feckin bunch of wankers...

21 Brewers Court
Dray Street
Manchester

And how is said letter addressed:-

Feckin wankers can't even get that right...
Got a phone call this morning 09.30, its the hospital, conversation goes:-
There's been a cancellation can you come for your operation tomorrow.
Yip.
I need to ask you some questions.
OK
Have you got a cold.
No
Are you taking antibiotics.
I discussed this with the nurse at the pre-op, she knows I was on antibiotics back then and was going to discuss it with the doctor as it only gave a short window for the operation to happen given the six week break from coming off the antibiotics to the six week break after the operation pre being able to fly as I have a holiday booked mid March, I've been been off the antibiotics four and a half weeks now.
Oh, Its on your records about flying hence we're trying to get you in early, but there is nothing about you being on antibiotics, I need to discuss it with the nurse, I'll phone you back asap.
(Hour and a half later no call so I phone them).
Oh, I'll chase her up she's not got back to me. (I recon she hadn't even spoke to anyone)
(Another hour and a half I get a call)
We cant carry out the operation the doctors not happy with your blood test results, you need to contact your own GP and have the blood tests done again........................
Total fu#k up, nothing on my records about me being on antibiotics, nothing about the operation not happening in letter I got from them telling me I drank over the recommended amount of alcohol per week,,, when were they going to tell me they were not going to carry out the operation ???
Nurse carrying out the pre-op never ever discussed anything with the doctor until this morning I recon......
Oh, and I got it confirmed they do actually know what legs fecked...
Wankers...

Walked in doctors this morning at 8.35 for my 8.40 appointment to have blood taken, I had just removed my gloves and my name was on the board. All electronically done, you push buttons on a touch screen so they know you have arrived. Back out in 5 minutes.
