Addenbrooke's Hospital 2022-08-09 Person 1 5 0

I was kept in here after a clinic visit unexpectedly due to breathing problems, after one week of test,X-rays and scans, I was advised I needed an Angiogram. Which would be done on day 7or 8 of my stay, I was told not to take my late night medication or my morning medication, then later that day, my Angiogram had been cancelled as so many patients ahead of me !!! After the shock, I was then advised I would need to wait for 4 more days before it was possible!! The following day I was advised it may not even happen on That day as now they are short of staff and it maybe the following week?? So I will have waited for 13 days at least for this to be done, I feel absolutely fine apart from shortness of breath, but am now ‘blocking’ a bed that is desperately needed by so many people on lists for treatments. The ward staff are kind, helpful and very caring, they deserve 100% for the fantastic service they offer, I just feel sorry that they get the brink of the complaints from not only me but many other patients in similar positions!
