Had a wisdom tooth removed unfortunately had complications no fault of the surgeon. I was seen on the 26th April as an outpatient, was told to come back in a fortnight, yet had to wait 3 weeks only for that appt to be cancelled for no reason. So will now be waiting 6 weeks with an appt not with my surgeon and potentially leaving me with permanent paralysis due to the delay. I appreciate the NHS is stretched but if a patient is told come back in 2 weeks and have to wait 6 is not acceptable. During a telephone conversation earlier today I was told there were appts this week, but they didn't contact me. Why tell me this? It just causes me more anguish knowing I could have been seen
