My wife has now had 3 cancellations for her hip to be replaced. Sher has to have both hips replaced and saw a registrar at Good Hope on in February 2017.
The last 2 occasions it was the night before she is due to go into the hospital. The last being tonight at 5. 10pm. All because of A & E having to take the bed allocation.
This is now 9 months later and each time she has a (Provisional date) she has to come off her pain killers a week before. We are now in a position where her Pre Op has to be repeated ( this feels like another delaying tactic) as we have gone past the due date. My wife has not only suffered physically but a great deal of mental stress, that's without what it is doing to us as a family. It's disgusting.
