I was referred to Boston Pilgrim Hospital by my Opticians who told me that I was 'borderline to drive'. After the usual two hour wait to be seen, a Medical Professional told me that, sadly, it was unlikely that my cataract would be considered for such an operation, i.e. lens replacement in my right eye. This staff member seemed genuinely sorry that the treatment would not take place on this occasion.
My previous appointment, for the left eye, was with Boston West but like the Pain Management section urgently needed by my Wife for her broken spine, I understand Ramsey Group have been removed from the NHS procedures, presumably for financial reasons.
