Was in hospital in February for an angiogram procedure where they tried to fit a stent in both of my wrists. They tried and failed for over an hour. I was in pain, it felt like the needle was going in the bone and when asked if I wanted them to stop I said yes.
They said they would have to try the groin area next time, and I was told that would be in May. I asked if they could not try to do that there and then and I was told no.
I left the hospital expecting to be called back for the procedure sometime in May this year.
I have now got a letter informing me that instead, I have a telephone consultation in May.
I am baffled - how can they fit a stent over the telephone?
"Operation over the phone?"
