"Cancelled Operation"

I broke my nose back in July 2016 and due to no appointments being available within 7 days to reset it I've had to be referred for surgery.

18 months on, I have had 3 consultations cancelled, 1  of which was due to staff annual leave and my operation date cancelled twice.  I'm now to wait another 4 weeks and as always it's still at risk of being cancelled again.

Whilst I appreciate it is based on clinical emergencies it is getting a little ridiculous now, especially when in theory I could have seen the exact same surgeon 6 months ago and had the operation, but only if I was willing to pay private fees.

I've gone 18 months of broken sleep, breathing restrictions and nosebleeds not to mention the inconvenience of having to ask family and friends to readjust their working arrangements to come pick me up and look after my child, only to cancel on them each time.
