"Not the NHS we are fighting for"

I am angry about the practices of RGH I have been waiting for wisdom teeth removed for over a year and understand covid has slowed this process. Now that is has come to me getting the procedure done I am scared to continue with this hospital as they do not make you feel confident. As mentioned I have waited so long my teeth have started to crack and have been in agony, I went for my pre-assessment back in October and only just have a date for January. Now I have received letters about keeping safe during Covid and the information on the letters are out of date they have not been updated since July and a big point it outlines is that I am at higher risk of catching covid during my attendance at the hospital this shocked and scared me. I am at higher risk in a hospital? I will also have a harder time recovering if I catch covid. None of this has been explained to me in my pre-assessment like the letter explains it should, the letter also says alternatives and what could happen without the surgery should have been explained and again I have had no such conversation. The letters themselves are a shambles and are scans of old copies. everything is so unprofessional, I am sick of this NHS we should be proud of that has apparently stood up to covid. From what I can see it is an NHS that cowers behind the virus. This I believe does not reflect across the country or at least I hope it does not but cannot comment on other Hospitals only the one I have had to deal with.
