After attending several pre-op assessments without any physical problem today not only I was informed from that I needed some extra assessment but this was done without caring for the surgery date.
The reason for the previous pre-op assessments is that my surgery was cancelled already 3 times and this one will be the 4th in 22 months. So, I already heard all the reasons for the cancellations but the one for today is a new one!
I have been referred to this hospital in July 2021 for 2 surgeries and so far I only had the first one and a total of 7 cancellations!
In 2 of them the prosthetic needed for the surgery was not available and the last occasion it was said it was lost in the hospital!
So when I read a previous comment saying: "the lack of organization, communication and basic competence is unacceptable" I couldn't agree more!
"7 cancellations for surgery in less than 3 years"
