I turned up to my appointment on time. I met with the anaesthetist, I met with my surgeon, I was given all of my information, I signed the forms. After 2.5 hours of being there I was told my surgery was cancelled. I had arranged childcare which I cannot get refunded. My husband took holiday from work which he could not change.
And after finally feeling reassured by my (very lovely) surgeon that morning, after a very sleepless anxious night, I felt extremely let down and disappointed that I will have to go through the entire process again and even considered legal action. I have been waiting for this surgery for a long time to finally get a diagnosis for the chronic pain I have been experiencing for years. I unfortunately feel really let down by your service.
Having had the greatest respect for the NHS in past experiences I am reluctant to take this further however, I do not want anyone else to have to go through this traumatic, emotional and mentally exhausting experience. I await your response before exploring my legal options.
