I attend opthamology regularly every 6 months or so for regular check up on my eye disease keratoconus. Since January I have had a few notifications advising of appointments firstly at outpatients at the RHCYP, this was cancelled, no reason given, then an appointment at Laurieston which was also cancelled and my latest appointment was made in March in the afternoon which was not cancelled. I duly attended the appointment on time having to drive from Livingston, pay for parking only to be met by the consultant to be advised he had no idea why I had been booked to see him, that I wasn't his patient, and the scanning machine that they would use to check the progress of the disease was actually at St Johns and not in Edinburgh.
This left me quite annoyed and very frustrated that I had wasted my time, got time off work and had to drive through and of course incurred the expense of the parking. Of course in addition to this, this appointment could have been allocated to whoever needed it, as I imagine there will be a waiting list to the the consultant.
I have not yet heard when my appointment will be rearranged, again this is very frustrating
