About: Bexhill Hospital / Rheumatology

(as the patient),

My appointment was at 11. 15 at Bexhill hospital. was still waiting at 12. 30 'Told them I had to get back to work. The clinic was running 2 hours late it would have been 2pm before I was seen. nurse could only say sorry. waited 4 months for this appointment 'will have to wait until September now a wait of 7 months .. The doctor likes to chat, the nurse told us. How disgusting to keep people waiting this long. I can only take the morning of work not the whole day.
