Share review of Queen's Hospital
I was given an 08.00 appointment (12/11/24) by the Orthopedic Department so I knew I had to be up early. I was to have pain relieving injection into my left hip. I've had them before and it takes 5 no-more than 10minutes, quite an easy procedure. There were no buses so I had to pay for a taxi. I arrived and at first everyone was pleasant. I saw the Orthopedic surgeon who said he wouldn't be long. Great I thought.
I had stripped off and put the theatre gowns on. I waited and waited and waited then at approximately 12.10 a staff nurse came and the morning male surgical list had been cancelled. She added further they had now started the female surgical list. I had about 10 hours of my life taken away by these people plus the money they robbed from me for taxi. I also endure Sleep Apnoea (I stop breathing) and was due to start on a CPAP machine but it would be pointless with the pain I have during the night. Disgusting behaviour from supposed 'Doctors and Nurses'.
