"Let down again"

Initially I was due to have a knee replacement on the 9th November 2024. Having spent a whole day in hospital gowned up with no food or water. I was sent home around 5:00pm, with no explanation. Eventually I was given another date 2nd December 2024. The day before I was called to say the operation was cancelled again. The planning required to have knee replacement surgery is immense. Sorting out time off work, getting lifts to hospital and back, Others taking time off work to help. Mental strain and stress caused by worry. Just to be let down twice. The NHS needs proper management, not money throwing at it. they waste billions, the whole of the UK sees it. During the pandemic doctors and nurses were held in high esteem. Not anymore. Mention the word NHS to most people and they just give an example of how they or someone they know has been let down time and time again
