About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

I had a sleep apnea test undertaken in March 2011 and am still waiting for the results. I have tried phoning the clinic but keep getting an ansa phone and no-one returns the calls. I have tried the number on the website but it just rings out. At my initial consultation with the consultant, he felt that I didnt have sleep apnea but that the test was precautionary before anathestic/surgery (I do have daytime sleepiness somedays because my husband snores and my cats jump on me in the middle of the night to wake me up!) I saw my surgical consultant yesterday who advised that my surgery was to be suspended indefinitely because they have not had the results from DMH. I would not use this hospital again as I feel that the delay in results coming through is appalling and the lack of communication and customer care post testing is dire.
