I have a benign tumour of the knee which is slowly getting larger and damaging the knee. Anyway, I've spent a week and hundreds of pounds getting to and from the hospital this week for preops, mris and finally today which was the day I was having it removed. I'm in alot of pain as well as having fibro and arthritis. Told to arrive nil by mouth at 7.15 am which I did, bought my bag because I was told 2 days stay. By about 9 30 I saw my consultant and told that would have to wait in the waiting room until about 3-4 pm to be admitted and prepped for surgery if the other ops went smoothly. HOW is it acceptable for a patient to wait 9 hrs nil by mouth in a waiting room ? ? Absolutely disgusting. I walked out no pun intended in the end. I now have no surgery, I'm in pain and nerve pain and I'm broke ! I'm so upset and angry. 9 HOURS !! FOR A PREPLANNED OPERATION TO REMOVE A TUMOUR. I am so upset. How dare you.
