"The staff were all very good, cheerful and tolerant"

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Trauma and Orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I was told to arrive at 7: 15am but had to wait until 4pm before having the op. I appreciate that a precise time for the op cannot be given, but surely some sort of staggered approach could be used even if it was only in terms of a morning or afternoon arrival.

This would probably be more convenient for patients who have to travel longer distances to the hospital.

The staff were all very good, cheerful and tolerant of my apparent inability to remember to take instructions such as how to sit in a chair properly.
