"Cancelled my urgent appointment "

About: Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital

I had a message on 19.03.25 at 07.00, that i didn't see until 08.15, saying Urology had an appointment available at 09.20 & can I call to accept this, of course I did as its urgent I get seen, I drove over to N & N, in rush hr traffic with 10 mins to spare, but after trying to park in 2 areas, I ended up in the multistorey on the 3rd level.. now it's 09.29, I'm late, so i call the receptionist i spoke to earlier to let her know I'm still about 5 mins walk away, she said it's OK I'll call Urology & let them know your here, as it was a last minute appointment.. so I arrive at the dept & then have a conversation with this reception & them telling me, no I'm not booked in today, it was just a call to confirm that appointment.. i tell her shes wrong, it's a message to come in today.. so after a few calls, im told ok we can fit you in, about 10.40 I get

called in to see a Dr, we had a chat, i dropped my pants, he has a feel, then tells me he'll book me for an urgent appointment... that's what I was there for... so basically wasted my time & a Dr's time.. i arrive home & see 2 messages on the NHS App @12.20. Informing me of the 09.20 appointment on 19.03.25.. & cancelled the original appointment on 25.03.25.. the 2nd message @12.21 informing me of an appointment on 25.03.25 @ 09.20.. .. so I now will have to call tomorrow (20.03.25) to see what's happening and if I've now lost that appointment, as due to my Dr's I'm already some

25 days since I was last seen in a walk in centre with blood passing out of my penis & them telling my Dr's to urgently request a hospital visit to find out where it's coming from.. .. but now rush, I'll just carry on with the severe pains & keep taking the meds..
