Total Knee Replacement

Story from nhs.uk

"Total Knee Replacement"

About: Colchester General Hospital

I had a LTKR in July 2013 in Great Tey ward. The staff were fantastic form start to finish and you couldn't fault them. I am now waiting to undergo a RTKR. I too have been on the waiting list for months after being told in July 14 that it would be a wait of 10-12 weeks. In the meantime, because I am a non driver, worked out of town and an unable to travel at peak times on public transport, I have now lost my job. My pre-op is now booked for next week. It's such a shame the hospital has had such bad publicity. It's not the front line staff that let it down.
